More on Henry Farrell
Description from Wikipedia:
Henry Farrell (September 27, 1920 – March 29, 2006) was an American novelist, short story and screenwriter. He is probably best-known as the author of the Hollywood horror novel What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
He was born Charles Farrell Myers in California, and grew up in Coalinga. Later taking the pseudonym Henry Farrell, his first novel was The Hostage, which was published in 1959.
His novel What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1960) was made into a classic movie of the same title that was released in 1962 starring Bette Davis in the title role and Joan Crawford as Blanche Hudson.
With Lukas Heller, Farrell co-wrote the screenplay for Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964), starring Davis and Olivia de Havilland. It was based on a story he wrote entitled Whatever Happened to Cousin Charlotte?, and the script earned Heller and Farrell a 1965 Edgar Award, from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. He wrote the original screenplay for What's the Matter with Helen? (1971), which starred Debbie Reynolds and Shelley Winters.
His wife was actress Molly Dodd, who died in 1981. Dodd appeared in small roles in two movies written by Farrell, the TV production How Awful About Allan starring Anthony Perkins and Julie Harris and What's the Matter with Helen?
