Charles Richard Webb (born June 9, 1939) is the author of many books, but his most well-known piece, The Graduate (1963), was made into a film of the same name (1967).
Non-materialist lifestyle
Webb lived a non-materialist lifestyle in the slums of his life. He refused an inheritance from his father, a wealthy doctor. He sold the film rights to The Graduate for a one-time payment of $20,000 but made nothing further, apart from stage adaptations. He owed the copyright to the Anti-Defamation League, which was donated by the author. The bulk of their possessions, including artwork by Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol, were donated by he and his wife. They lived out of a VW Bus in campgrounds, trailer parks, and nudist colonies while home-schooling their children.
Life and career
Webb was born in San Francisco and grew up in Pasadena, California. Chandler School, Midland School in Los Olivos, California, is a student at Williams College.
Webb lived in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, for many years.
In 1962, Webb married Eve Rudd; they divorced in 1981 in protest at the institution of marriage, but they remained a couple. They remarried in 2001 due to visa restrictions, and they remained together until her death in 2019. Eve shaved her head and declared herself "Fred" in honor of a Californian charity group called Fred, which supports men with low self-esteem. Fred was an illustrator, and her illustrations for Webb's 2002 book New Cardiff were included. The couple had two sons, John and David; the latter is now a performance artist who made and ate a copy of The Graduate with cranberry sauce, presumably to his father's delight.
At one point, the Webbs banned their children from school so they could tutor them at home; at another time, they operated a nudist camp in New Jersey; at one point, they attempted to flee the state; They also divorced – accounts differ on why (not due to personal differences) either in protest against marriage or against the United States' lack of gay rights for gay people. They sold their wedding favors to their guests, and after giving away four houses in succession, they lived on the breadline, serving as cleaners, cooks, and fruit pickers, working in a shack. They lived in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England.
Webb died in Eastbourne from a blood disorder on June 16, 2020, at the age of 81.
