Best Answer

While there are obvious implications leading one to think of J.D. Salinger, there are no real parallels. J.D. Salinger isn't actually as reclusive as some think, and he's certainly not suffering agoraphobia to the extent of being confined to his residence.

Is William Forrester a real author?

No. He is only a character in the movie Finding Forrester. Some people point to parallels between the character of Forrester and the real life author J.D. Salinger. Similar to the movie, Salinger blocked a biography of himself, for instance, and he was also wildly famous for just one book. IMDB trivia about the movie claims "In addition to being based on J.D. Salinger, William Forrester is also heavily inspired by John Kennedy Toole." Toole published a work that won the Pulitzer the year after he died. Interestingly, the movie says that Forrester won a Pulitzer Prize in a year when no one won in that particular category.
