A biographer must have a lot of patience when they write about a popular or busy person.
It has become a tradition for great politicians to appoint a biographer to write about their lives so that once they retire from active politics they can have their books published … and make money!
A talented biographer can make even a common man’s life more interesting than a celebrity’s.
Note: An ‘autobiographer’ is a person who writes about his/her own life. Some popular autobiographers are: Anne Robinson, Hugh Cornwell, and of course, Sir Sean Connery, the Hollywood movie James Bond fame, you see on the video.
