- Judith Guest (March 29, 1936) is an American novelist and screenwriter. Born in Detroit, Michigan, she is the great-niece of Poet Laureate Edgar Guest (1881–1959). Judith attended Detroit's Mumford High School in 1951. When the Guest family moved to Royal Oak, she transferred to Dondero High School, where she graduated in 1954. Guest then studied English and psychology at the University of Michigan, graduating with a BA in education. She taught at a public school for a number of years before making the decision to devote herself full time to completing a novel. Her first book, Ordinary People, published in 1976, was made into a 1980 film that won the Academy Award for Best Picture. This novel and two others, Second Heaven (1982) and Errands (1997), are about adolescent children forced to deal with a crisis in their family. She also wrote the screenplay for the 1987 film Rachel River. Judith Guest co-authored the mystery Killing Time in St. Cloud (1988) with fellow novelist Rebecca Hill. Guest's most recent book, The Tarnished Eye (2004), is loosely based on a true unsolved crime in her native Michigan. Judith is married to businessman Larry LaVercombe, former All-City basketball player at Detroit's Cooley High School and graduate of the University of Michigan (where he met Miss Guest). Judith and Larry have three sons and several grandchildren; all residing in Minnesota.
