#FILM SCREENWRITER FRANCIS MARION MOVIE#
Though Cockrell did not have that lengthy an association with any other television show, he worked steadily through the 1960s on such hit shows as the campy comic book spinoff "Batman." His final work was the 1973 TV movie "Ordeal," a revenge story about a businessman stranded in the desert by his unfaithful wife and her lover. A California girl, Marion Benson Owens was born in 1888. He became best known for his work on the anthology "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," for which he wrote 18 episodes between 1955 and '59 he directed two of them as well, the only non-writing credits of his entire career. But from 1915 into the 1930s, a woman named Frances Marion was the most successful and highest-paid screenwriter in show biz. Like many screenwriters of his generation, Cockrell moved into television in the mid-1950s when it became clear that the new technology was no mere passing fad after 1956, all his work was for the small screen. Two of these films, a mistaken-identity comedy with former silent film star Harold Lloyd called "Professor Beware," and the back-from-the-dead thriller "Dark Waters," were co-written with his wife, future prolific television writer Marion B. A single script by early Hollywood’s highest-paid screenwriter could make or break any of their careersand for over 20 years, that screenwriter was a woman, Frances Marion. His first job was a co-screenwriting credit on the young-love drama "The Age of Consent." Cockrell worked steadily throughout the 1930s and '40s, largely on somewhat forgettable B movies. Her films moved audiences to tears and brought out the best in every actor for whom she ever wrote. Senator from Missouri during Reconstruction, Francis Cockrell had a long career writing for film and television, with credits spanning over four decades. Frances Marion was one of the most important, influential, and well-paid screenwriters in Hollywood. She was the first writer to win two Academy Awards. Not to be confused with the similarly named Confederate general who became a U.S. Marion worked under the Boy Wonder of MGM Studios, Irving Thalberg. Frances Marion (born Marion Benson Owens, Novem May 12, 1973) was an American screenwriter, journalist, author, and film director, often cited as one of the most renowned female screenwriter of the 20th century alongside June Mathis and Anita Loos.
