Biography
Herne was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1880, the daughter of playwright James A. Herne and stage actress Katherine Corcoran. Her sister was actress Chrystal Herne.[1]
She had always dreamed of writing plays, and she began writing and acting in her teenage years. She had a number of plays hit Broadway in the 1910s and 1920s.[2]
By the early 1920s, she was employed as a scenarist at Paramount, where she worked on films like Dangerous Money and The Snow Bride.[3] Her film career tapered off around 1925, although she continued writing for the stage.
Herne was found dead in her New York City apartment in 1955.[4] In her suicide note, she blamed a bad review as the source of her despair.[5]
