![Didion in 1970](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Didion1970_%28cropped%29.jpg)
Didion's career began in the 1950s after she won an essay contest sponsored by ''Vogue'' magazine. She would go on to publish essays in ''The Saturday Evening Post'', ''Life'', ''Esquire'', ''The New York Review of Books'', and ''The New Yorker''. Her writing during the 1960s through the late 1970s engaged audiences in the realities of 1960s counterculture, Hollywood lifestyle, and California history and culture. Didion's political writing in the 1980s and 1990s concentrated on the subtext of political rhetoric and the United States's foreign policy in Latin America. In 1991, she wrote the earliest mainstream media article to suggest that the Central Park Five had been wrongfully convicted. In 2005, Didion won the National Book Award for Nonfiction and was a finalist for both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for ''The Year of Magical Thinking'', a memoir of the year following the sudden death of her husband, writer John Gregory Dunne. She later adapted the book into a play that premiered on Broadway in 2007. In 2013, she was awarded the National Humanities Medal by president Barack Obama. Didion was profiled in the Netflix documentary ''The Center Will Not Hold'', directed by her nephew Griffin Dunne, in 2017. Provided by Wikipedia
