Huntington was born Gladys Theodora Parrish in Philadelphia to a Quaker family on 13 December 1887.[1] Her parents were Alfred Parrish and Katharine Broadwood Jennings. From a young age, she lived in New York, Paris, London, Biarritz, Rome, and "a villa on Lake Como."[1]
She married Boston native Constant Davis Huntington on 17 October 1916.[2] The two moved to London where Constant opened Putnam's London office.[3] The two resided in Hyde Park Gardens and then at Amberley House in Sussex, where they remained until her death.[1]
On 31 May 1959, three years after the publication of Madame Solario, Huntington committed suicide.[4]
