Agatha Christie
4: A very British writer (sort of)
Agatha may have seemed the very image of the stately English lady (the "Queen Mother with a pen", as one journalist called her), but she was in fact half-American.Her father, Frederic Miller, was a rich American stockbroker who had moved to Britain many years before Agatha was born. Her mother, Clara Boehmer, was an aristocrat, which might explain why so many of Agatha's novels deal with wealthy, well-to-do types.
