As an author no.
But as a director, they could be elevated to the status of creator, and perhaps directing is the truer American art form rather than ...epic poetry or the novel. Which speaks to the core of the question at a different level.
Besides, Homer didn't write his own plots either, he adapted original screenplays, so to speak!
