Betty Browne was an American screenwriter and stage actress primarily known for writing intertitles for comedy shorts during Hollywood's silent era.[1][2]
Betty was born in New York City to Mr. Browne (who died when she was an infant) and Aimee Fitzgerald. She was the granddaughter of former Supreme Court Justice Edward Browne.[3]
Betty started out her career in entertainment as an actress and a Ziegfeld girl.[4][5] She married Australian actor and Broadway producer Leslie Casey in New York City in 1918.[3] She later married fellow screenwriter Gene Towne for a time; the pair had a daughter before divorcing.[6]
