Biography
Hackensack, New Jersey, greeted Philip Lonergan’s arrival on 18 May 1887, and before the age of thirty he was already spinning silken plots for the silent screen. His pen gave the world The Pillory in 1916, followed by the tangled romance Her Life and His a year later, and capped the decade with the breezy marital misadventure Almost Married in 1919. The sun finally set on his story in Hollywood, California, on 8 March 1940, but the flickering images he scripted still race through the reels of film history.
