A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945)

Screenwriter whose career was cut short by cancer in 1945. Her credits, alone or in collaboration, include HIS BROTHER'S WIFE (1936), THE GOOD EARTH and THE BRIDE WORE RED (both 1937), GIRLS' SCHOOL (1938), DANCE, GIRL, DANCE (1940), REMEMBER THE DAY (1941), ARE HUSBANDS NECESSARY? (1942), and A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN (1945).
