Darcy O'Brien (July 16, 1939, in Los Angeles, California – March 2, 1998, in Tulsa, Oklahoma) was an award-winning American author of fiction and literary criticism, most well known for his work in the genre of true crime. His first novel, A Way of Life, Like Any Other,[1] was a fictionalized account of his childhood in Hollywood.
