A biography is the life story of a person. There was an half hour show on CBS called Biography. This was expanded into a hour long show on the A and E network. Now there is a Biography channel on basic cable that air one and two hour long shows about famous people, such as Abraham Lincoln and Tom Hanks. An autobiography is when a person writes their own life story about themselves, instead of a biography, where someone else writes about another person. If David McCullough writes a book about the life of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, that a biography. If Oprah Winfrey writes a book about her life, that is an autobiography.
