Gregory Hancock Hemingway (November 12, 1931 – October 1, 2001), also known as Gloria Hemingway in later life, was the third and youngest child of author Ernest Hemingway.
A good athlete and a crack shot, Gregory longed to be a typical Hemingway hero and trained as a professional hunter in Africa.
But his alcoholism prevented his gaining a licence, as it also cost him his medical licence in America.
Gregory maintained a long-running feud with his father, stemming from a 1951 incident when Gregory’s drug-taking and unsuitable first marriage caused a shouting match between Ernest and Gregory's mother Pauline, so violent that she died from a stress-related condition.
His bestselling memoir of his father, Papa, was seen by some to reflect troubles of his own.
These included a habit of dressing in women’s clothes, which he ascribed to gender dysphoria.
A course of sex reassignment surgery from male to female was incomplete at the time of his death.
