Bill Naughton was born in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, Ireland. He was an Irish-born British playwright and author, best known for his play Alfie. Although best remembered for his play, Alfie, mostly because of the British film starring Michael Caine in the eponymous role, Naughton was a prolific writer of plays, novels, short stories and children's books. In addition to Alfie, at least two of his other plays have been made into feature films. These are Spring and Port Wine, which had James Mason starring in the role of Rafe Crompton, and All in Good Time, filmed as The Family Way, which starred John Mills. His work also includes the novel One Small Boy, and the collection of short stories The Goalkeeper's Revenge: And Other Stories. His 1977 children's novel My Pal Spadger is an account of his childhood in 1920s Bolton.
