Who Is ‘Argylle’ Author Elly Conway? Director Matthew Vaughn Says He’s ‘Begging’ Her to ‘Come Out of the Shadows’


As Matthew Vaughn's latest spy adventure 'Argylle' inches closer to its premiere, one question remains unanswered: Who is Elly Conway?

For those unfamiliar with “Argylle,” the film — starring Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Dua Lipa and more — is said to be based on a book of the same name by Conway, an unknown, first-time author. The identity of the true Conway — if there is one — has yet to be revealed, and some fans have even postulated that Taylor Swift is the person behind the “Argylle” novel, a rumor that Vaughn was quick to shut down. Despite boarding the film three-and-a-half years ago and working closely with Vaughn throughout the process, he said he’s never had any contact with the mysterious author either in person, by phone or email.
