Katharine Kavanaugh
''For those of a similar name, see Katherine Kavanagh (other)'' Katharine Kavanaugh (sometimes spelled Katherine Kavanaugh) was an American screenwriter and playwright active primarily during Hollywood's silent era. She was primarily known for writing comedies. Biography Theatrical beginnings Kavanaugh was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1874, and she attended school at Mount de Sales and Notre Dame. Both of her parents died when she was young. She took an early interest in storytelling; as she'd later recall, she'd often get in trouble as a young girl for working up plays in the schoolyard. Still, she never thought she'd make a career for herself in the theater. She began acting with the Albaugh Stock Company around 1900, and Valerie Bergere eventually brought her on the road for her touring act. Soon she was a star of the local Baltimore theater scene, frequently writing and acting in her own plays and collaborating with the Ziegfeld players. Her 1903 play ''P ...

Writers From Baltimore
A writer is a person who uses written words in different writing styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce different forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, books, poetry, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as other reports and news articles that may be of interest to the general public. Writers' texts are published across a wide range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well, often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society. The term "writer" is also used elsewhere in the arts and music, such as songwriter or a screenwriter, but also a stand-alone "writer" typically refers to the creation of written language.

Other writers use multiple media such as graphics or illustration to enhance the communication of thei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
