Larry Collins, born John Lawrence Collins Jr., (September 14, 1929, Hartford, Connecticut – June 20, 2005, Fréjus, France), was an American writer. In 1965, Collins and Lapierre published their first joint work, Is Paris Burning? (in French Paris brûle-t-il?), a tale of Nazi occupation of the French capital during World War II and Hitler’s plans to destroy Paris should it fall into the hands of the Allies. The book was an instant success and was made into a movie in 1966 by director René Clément, starring Kirk Douglas, Glenn Ford and Alain Delon.
