New Zealand born Anthony McCarten is arguably the world's best known biopic screenwriter and playwright
Past subjects have included Whitney Houston, Edison, Churchill and the band Queen, and this year alone he's had two Broadway productions - the still running Neil Diamond musical A Beautiful Noise and The Collaboration, a play about Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
His play Ladies Night, first produced in 1987, continues to be performed around the world. McCarten has written at least 10 novels and his latest, just out, is a thriller Going Zero.
In the works are a screenplay about the love story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono and a nonfiction book and play about Bill Gates and Warren Buffet's friendship.
