On this day, June 1, in 1937, Colleen McCullough was born in Wellington, New South Wales, Australia. She had dreamed of becoming a doctor, but an allergy to surgical soap pushed her towards
neuroscience. She taught at Yale’s Neurology Department for ten years, during which time she wrote her first two novels including The Thorn Birds, which became an international bestseller and a wildly popular television miniseries, allowing her to leave teaching and “live on her own terms”. She moved to Norfolk Island off Australia’s coast and in 2006 was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia. She died in 2015 at age 77 from apparent kidney failure.
