Edith Skouras (June 6, 1911 – June 21, 2015) was an American screenwriter who primarily worked in Hollywood in the 1930s.[1]
Edith was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Charles Skouras and Florence Souders. The family spent time in Missouri, where Charles and his brothers built a theater business and Edith attended Hosmer Hall. After the extended family moved further west, her father eventually became head of Fox West Coast Theaters, which he ran with Edith's uncles.[2] Edith married Jack Jungmeyer Jr., an assistant film producer at 20th Century Fox, in 1938. The pair often collaborated on projects together.[2][3][4] She died in Santa Barbara, California, in 2015.[5]
