Maie B. Havey (1889 - 1971), born Marie Judge, was an American screenwriter active during the earliest years of Hollywood. During her decade in the industry, she is credited with 70 screenplays.[1][2]
Biography
Maie was born in New York City to Joseph Judge and Mary Kane; her father died when she was young. Her pen name may have come from a stepfather her mother remarried when she was young. In 1913, Maie — who had worked as a magazine writer[3] — was signed as a scenarist for the Lubin Manufacturing Company, and she later worked at Universal[4] and Bessie Barriscale Pictures.[5] She was close friends with actress Fay Tincher, with whom she often worked; the pair even lived together for a time.[6] Little is known of what became of her after 1920, when she wrote her last known scenario for Hollywood.
