\n Charles Webb, the author whose first novel, \u201cThe Graduate,\u201d inspired the 1967 Oscar-winning movie starring Dustin Hoffman,\u00a0is dead at the age of 81 due to a blood condition.<\/p>\n

His death was confirmed by longtime friend and journalist Jack Malvern writes Deadline.<\/p>\n

Webb, who died on June 16th in Eastbourne, England, said that the iconic book and subsequent film were based on real-life experiences from when he was growing up in Los Angeles, though he also claimed that it was not autobiographical.<\/p>\n

Though his book became famous, the eccentric Webb earned only $20,000 from the film rights and chose to live a life that wasn\u2019t filled with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cMillions and millions were made from The Graduate<\/em> and here I am searching around for a couple of quid to buy my sandwich \u2014 people love that,\u201d Webb once told The BBC.<\/p>\n

He and his wife Eve, who died last year, led a peculiar life.<\/p>\n

They spent much of their time on the open road and homeschooling their three children.<\/p>\n

They ran a nudist camp in New Jersey and in a show of solidarity against the United States marriage laws, divorced, but remained together, the Deadline story said.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Webb published a sequel to The Graduate\u00a0<\/em>called Home Schooled<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Though written for financial reasons, Webb was always happ<\/a>y not to live a materialistic life.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife and I have done a lot of things we wouldn\u2019t have done if we were rich people \u2026 I would have been counting my money instead of educating my children,\u201d he said in a 2006 interview with the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Webb is survived by his children.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
