Mary McCarthy (screenwriter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mary Eunice McCarthy was an American screenwriter.
She wrote or co-wrote the screenplays, or developed the stories for Slightly Married (1932), Woman Unafraid (1934), Life Returns (1935), Theodora Goes Wild (1936), Irish Luck (1939), Chasing Trouble (1940), Sister Kenny (1946), Curley (1947), and The Petty Girl (1950).
Mary Eunice McCarthy, the screenwriter, is commonly conflated with critic and novelist Mary Therese McCarthy (1912-1989). In the 1930s, the former was the better known of the two, but was quickly eclipsed by the novelist. The screenwriter's work is now commonly credited to the novelist, an error that would have dismayed both.
