Anne Froelick

[3] She assisted Koch on his radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, which made broadcasting history when it aired that same year.

[3] Her first screen credit was the 1941 drama Shining Victory, which she co-wrote with Koch, who again handed her dialogue pages to rewrite.

[6] In 1941, Miss Susie Slagle's was postponed when Sam Wood, who was attached to direct, decided to film For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) instead.

She did on-set rewrites, and when filming concluded, she returned to Paramount to finish the Miss Susie Slagle's script.

[9] During this time, Froelick became involved in political activism, including opposing fascism and promoting unions and desegregation.

"[9] In 1951, Froelick's party membership caused her husband, Philip Taylor, to lose his job as a manufacturing planner at Lockheed.

[1] During the last hearings for the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), in 1953, she was identified as a communist by fellow screenwriters Leopold Atlas and Sol Shor.

She wrote one unpublished novel titled Fee Fi Fo Friend, which was inspired by her political activism and subsequent blacklisting.

Along with that, she co-wrote a comic novel, Press on Regardless, about a female sports-car addict, with Fern Mosk, which was published by Simon & Schuster in 1956.
