Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948) was an American novelist, painter, and socialite. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, to a wealthy Southern family, she became locally famous for her beauty and high spirits, and in 1920 married the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald following the success of his debut novel, This Side of Paradise. Dubbed the first American flapper by the national press, she and her husband were regarded as emblematic figures of the Jazz Age. Her mental health later deteriorated, and she required extended psychiatric care.
