Agnes Gavin (1872 - 1948) was an Australian actor and screenwriter of the silent era, who worked in collaboration with her husband John Gavin. She wrote the majority of his films and was arguably the first specialist screenwriter in the history of the Australian film industry.[1]
She and her husband were best known for making films about bushrangers such as Captain Thunderbolt, Captain Moonlite, Ben Hall and Frank Gardiner, and convict-era melodramas.
She adapted her 1917 film The Murder of Captain Fryatt into a play Captain Fryatt; Or, For King and Country.
