AGE 100: Herman Wouk

Pulitzer prize-winning author

What makes him powerful: Wouk's best known novel, "The Caine Mutiny," spent 47 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, earned him the 1951 Pulitzer prize for fiction, and was turned into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart. The centenarian is also known for weaving Jewish themes through his work, as seen in "War and Remembrance" and "The Winds of War," which both center around the Holocaust. Despite just turning 100, he's not done writing yet. In fact, Wouk will publish his first memoir, "Sailor and Fiddler: Reflections of a 100-Year-Old Author," in December.
