Helen Fielding

Helen Fielding is the writer who invented the story of journalist Bridget Jones. Her works formed the basis for scripts for famous comedies and glorified the author, whose biography milestones are similar to her heroine.

Helen was born in the British provincial town of Morley on February 19, 1958. In addition to her, the family had three more children. His father worked as a mill manager, and his mother ran a household. The girl was sent to Wakefield High School. For higher education, Fielding entered St Anne's College at Oxford University, where she began to study literature and English. There, the girl met Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson.

The student was praised and believed in a successful future. After graduating, in 1979 Helen became a journalist for the BBC and worked on projects Nationwide and Playschool. She has also been a researcher for a news outlet and a television producer. While developing in the field of television, Fielding tried herself as a reporter and shot documentaries. She later became a columnist for the Telegraph, Sunday Times, Independent.

In 1999, Helen began dating Kevin Curren, known to the public for an animation project about the Simpsons family. The couple raised two children together: the son of Dashil and the daughter of Romy, but this turned out to be not the most important moment when the personal life of the spouses went wrong. In 2009, Fielding divorced her husband.

Helen was interested in trying to work with large literary forms, so she wrote The Reason for Success. The work is based on the events captured by the author during his trips to Sudan, Ethiopia and Mozambique. In it, the writer touched upon the painful problems of these countries: hunger, poverty, lack of clean water. At the same time, the story line unfolded about Rosie Richardson, who sought solace in volunteering and managed to attract the attention of stars to the problems of Africans.

At first the publishers did not accept the job, but the situation changed the situation. The book was published in 1994. She collected positive feedback from readers, and the writer began work on the next project. Soon there was a work called "Ardent Imagination", which tells the story of the journalist Olivia Joules, who dreams of creating a serious project. The woman had a chance to conduct her own investigation. The plot is curious because the main character constantly finds herself in ridiculous situations.

The novel about Bridget Jones grew out of a column by Helen Fielding, which she wrote for the Independent. Stories about the life of an unmarried woman who lives for her own pleasure, helped to appear the book "Diary of Bridget Jones." The presentation of the work took place in 1996, and soon it was recognized as a bestseller.

Bridget is a heroine in search of a dream man. She writes in her personal diary everything that is interesting to her life, experiences ups and downs in her personal and professional life, but does not lose her optimism and believes in a better outcome of events.

Having tasted the first big success, Fielding began to work on the sequel to the novel. In 1999, the book "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" was published. The success of the work coincided with changes in the writer's personal life. In 2013, Helen returned to her beloved heroine and wrote "Bridget Jones is crazy about the boy." The series ended with the novel “Bridget Jones's Child. Diaries ". For him, the author received the Woodhouse Prize, which is awarded to comedy books.

Based on the stories about Jones, film adaptations appeared. The script was written by Fielding's acquaintance at the Institute, Richard Curtis. Films about an awkward and frivolous blonde were a great success at the box office and are still loved by viewers.

After the resounding success of the series of novels about the awkward journalist, Helen did not add to her bibliography for quite some time. By 2019, there is no news about new products in her creative life. Perhaps the writer is engaged in a project that she now prefers not to talk about.
