Katherine Albert
Katherine Albert (sometimes credited as Katherine Eunson, her married name) was an American screenwriter, playwright, and TV writer. Biography Katherine was born in Kentucky, the only child of George Albert and Logie Bell Evans Albert. As a young girl, she dreamed of becoming an actress, and she persuaded a family friend who was related to D. W. Griffith to get her an introduction when she moved to California at age 16. Griffith brought her onto his stock company, and she appeared in a few small roles on the stage and in silent films before deciding that acting wasn't for her. The family moved away from Los Angeles for a time. When she moved back to Hollywood in her early 20s, she began writing for publications like ''The Los Angeles Daily News'' and ''Photoplay'' before getting a job in MGM's publicity department. Early on in that assignment, she was charged with working with Greta Garbo, with whom she reportedly did not get along well. At MGM, she met Dale Eunson (1904-2002 ...
