[1] Edna was born in Lower Lake, California, April 29, 1880, to William Goldsmith and Martha Asbill.
She wrote a string of scenarios for the fledgling motion pictures in the 1910s, and she continued writing into the 1930s.
In 1935, she protested against censorship in motion pictures by picketing in front of a cardinal's home in Manhattan.
[3] Her script All Flags Flying had been purchased by Paramount, but the cardinal had objected to the film's content and gotten censors to bar it from production.
