Grace Margaret Perkins (August 20, 1900 - December 16, 1955;[1] sometimes credited as Dora Macy)[2] was an American screenwriter, actress, and novelist active during the 1920s through the 1950s.
Her studies at Columbia University's School of Journalism ended with her father's death during her sophomore year.
Leaving the magazine, she went to Toronto, where she acted in a stock theater company, after which she performed in Rochester.
Her first assignment, interviewing a woman whose husband had been murdered, turned her from covering hard news to writing book reviews and bedtime stories.
Apart from that work for the newspaper, she wrote songs for children and serials and short stories for magazines.
