Jack Finney was an American author best known for writing The Body Snatchers and Time and Again. The former was the basis of the 1956 film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers that is considered to be one of the best political allegories of the 1950s.

Finney was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as John Finney, but he was later renamed Walter Braden Finney when he was three years old in honor of his father after his passing. Everyone would go on to call him Jack though and that was he was known as an author. Finney’s first published story was in the 1940s and his first novel, 5 Against the House, was published in 1954.
