Russell Banks, a renowned writer and producer, entered this world on March 28, 1940, in the charming town of Newton, Massachusetts, USA. His life's work was marked by several notable projects, including the critically acclaimed films The Sweet Hereafter, released in 1997, and Affliction, also released in 1997, as well as the thought-provoking production, American Darling.
Throughout his personal life, Russell Banks was united in matrimony to not one, not two, but four remarkable women: Chase Twichell, Kathy Walton, Mary Gunst, and Darlene Bennett. Together, they shared in the joys and challenges that life has to offer.
Regrettably, Russell Banks's remarkable journey came to a close on January 7, 2023, in Saratoga Springs, New York, USA. Despite his passing, his body of work continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
