He held a variety of odd jobs, including railroad freight clerk, soda jerk, and theme park security guard.
His books typically focus on the gap between the public displays and the private indignities of the small-town rich.
He was born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania as the eldest of eight children.
Elizabeth Taylor won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1960 film adaptation of O'Hara's novel, BUtterfield 8.
