Jane Ardmore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jane Kesner Ardmore (1912 — August 17, 2000), also known as Jane Kesner Morris, was a writer in Hollywood, best known for biographies of actors, and for three novels.

Jane Kesner was one of two daughters born to David Leon Kesner and his wife, the former Florence Behrend, in Chicago, Illinois. Jane remembered writing her first popular story at age 10, when her teacher liked her composition so much that she sent copies to every classroom at Jane's school.[1] Kesner attended the University of Chicago, where she was managing editor of the campus newspaper. She graduated from the University of Chicago in 1932.[2] While at Chicago, she was the assigned "big sister" of feminist theologian Janet Kalven, who recalled that Kesner later became "a close friend."[3]
