Rafael Azcona Fernández (24 October 1926 – 24 March 2008) was an awarded Spanish screenwriter and novelist who has worked with some of the best Spanish and international filmmakers. Azcona won five Goya Awards during his career, including a lifetime achievement award in 1998.
He was born in the northern Spanish city Logroño on 24 October 1926. Azcona initially began his career writing for humor magazines.
