The Citadel (1938)

Elizabeth "Betty" Hill acquired her small place in film history when she married twice-divorced director King W Vidor in 1932 and became his script assistant for the next several years, gaining co-writer credits on a few of his major films like the socially-conscious OUR DAILY BREAD (1934) and THE CITADEL (1938). (King Vidor's two previous wives had been star actresses, Florence Arto Vidor and Eleanor Boardman.) Another responsibility that Elizabeth Hill Vidor acquired from her partnership with King Vidor was as step-mother to his three daughters, Suzanne (1918-2003), Antonia (1927-    ) and Belinda (1930-    ). Hill and Vidor remained married until her death in 1978. American writer Elizabeth Hill Vidor is not to be confused with the British professor of Russian language and literature, Elizabeth Hill (translator of the comic novel 12 Chairs from Russian to English).    Nominated for Writing (Screenplay) 1938: THE CITADEL (w.
