The high-profile catch-up was heavily anticipated by fans and sponsored in part by The Stay Gold Foundation, marking a rare public reunion between the two iconic co-stars from Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 classic, The Outsiders.

S.E Hinton's publisher suggested using the initials "S.E." instead of her full name (Susan Eloise) so that teenage boys would not dismiss a gritty story about gang violence written by a woman.

The book was inspired by real-life class tensions and a friend being jumped by a rival group (the "Socs") in her high school.

After her explosive early success, she suffered from severe depression and writer's block. Her husband helped her break it by setting a strict rule to write

two pages every day, which resulted in

her second novel, That Was Then, This

Is Now.

She worked closely with director Francis Ford Coppola during the film adaptations

of her books (The Outsiders and Rumble Fish) and made small cameo

appearances in the movies.

“Ponyboy Curtis is probably the closest

She ever come to putting herself in a

book, even down to the physical description,” she once said. “He had

my ideas; he had my personality. And he and I both liked sunsets.

Different Sunsets was the original title of The Outsiders, “but she had a wonderful

editor, Velma Varner, who thought that

title would be too ‘soft’ for the story. She agreed. The Outsiders encompasses so many different levels. I’m glad I changed

it.”

It took a year and half to write the book

she was only 15 and 18 when it was published Though she never planned to publish it

To date, the book has sold more than 15 million copies and been translated into more then 30 languages.

The film was low on budget and couldn't

pay S.E Hinton the full amount of rights fees to make the movie

S.E. Hinton herself had already turned down offers from other studios wishing

to buy the rights to the book to make it

a film, but she denied to do so, not believing they could do it enough justice. After an interview between author and director Coppola, the two agreed to work with each other and go on to produce the film. Hinton had enough trust in Zoetrope
