Cathrine Curtis (1889 - 1955)[1] was an American actress, film producer, investor, and radio personality.
[3] In Phoenix, one of her neighbors was the novelist Harold Bell Wright, who invited her to Hollywood to play a role in his film, The Shepherd of the Hills.
[6] She planned an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World (ultimately released in 1925), but legal wrangling ensued over rights.
[10] She seems to have lost interest after she married her husband, Joseph O'Neill, but continued making advertorial films through the end of the decade.
After moving back to New York City after the stock market crash, she continued investing and became a radio personality, producing a twice-weekly show, Women and Money, for WMCA, in which she began espousing a brand of feminism centered on women's financial independence.
