IMDb TMDB
1937 – 2005 · Louisville, Kentucky, USA · Active 1978–2020

Hunter S. Thompson, born in 1937 in Louisville, Kentucky, revolutionized journalism with his unique Gonzo style, blending personal narrative with reporting. As the writer of Where the Buffalo Roam (1980), he brought to life the wild escapades of his alter ego, Raoul Duke, capturing the essence of the counterculture movement. Thompson's sharp critique of authority and his unapologetic lifestyle resonate through his work, making him a defining voice in American literature and a crucial figure in the exploration of 1970s counterculture.
