Here's a link to an article in the New York Times.

It's not a very indepth article overall (mainly about some recently found manuscripts)... but it mentions his career as screenwriter in Hollywood. I found it interesting that one of America's most well-known "classic" authors was not able to effectively bring his writing talents to the screenplay format.
Here's a quote from it...
The new archive reveals, among other things, that Fitzgerald approached every screenplay as if it were a novel and often wrote long back stories for each of the characters before setting down a word of dialogue.
Anyways... just interesting. :shock:
