An easy one. There are not that many popular English writers with pen names and well known "famous last words". In fact, the only one I can think of is Saki. That is the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916), whose alleged last words were "Put that damned cigarette out!" He was shot by a German sniper while sheltering in a shell crater near Beaumont-Hamel.
