A new name to me. How good a writer is she, I wonder…? Intriguing photo pulls me in.

She wrote quite risque (at least for her time) books and screenplays, of the romance variety. She was quite daring. She is famous for giving pop culture the concept of ‘It’-as in the first ‘It” girl, Clara Bow. She changed the face of pop culture, and was tremendously famous.

It’s hard to imagine, by looking at this photo, that she is the force behind “It” but, as a previous commenter said, she does look like someone who knows what she wants and how to get it.
Happy Birthday, Elinor, you minx.

She had to have been a saucy minx to write the things she did!
