Lucinda Margaret Grealy (June 3, 1963 – December 18, 2002) was an Irish-American poet and memoirist who wrote Autobiography of a Face in 1994.
This critically acclaimed book describes her childhood and early adolescent experience with cancer of the jaw, which left her with some facial disfigurement.
In a 1994 interview with Charlie Rose conducted right before she rose to the height of her fame, Lucy stated that she considered her book to be primarily about the issue of "identity."
