Lorna Moon, she liked the ring of it,
transformed from Nora Helen Wilson Low.
Names need to have a resonance, a fit
and this could take her where she yearned to go…

LORNA MOON
BORN STRICHEN 1886, DIED NEW MEXICO 1930
BY KAY CLIVE

Lorna Moon, she liked the ring of it,
transformed from Nora Helen Wilson Low.
Names need to have a resonance, a fit
and this could take her where she yearned to go.
“Shameless”, they called her in the staid wee town,
between the Buchan farmland and the sea,
writing about the folk she’d always known
probing pretence, revealing oddity.
The library refused to stock her book -
the quine whose scripts had dazzled Hollywood
was shunned in Strichen. They could not overlook
that searing light that showed more than it should.

She planned a journey home when gravely ill,
her ashes in a “trochie”, back to Mormond Hill.

“The story of how Marion & Kate Corbaley tricked the studio executives into paying Lorna Moon $7500, while reviving Marie Dressler’s career, should be a legend in the history of female networking in the motion picture business”

Lobby card for the 1930 film Min and Bill.

A downwards-pointing triangular cut frames a photograph of "Min and Bill", played by Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery. "Min" is a middle-aged woman with short dark hair. She is cradling the head of "Bill", a middle-aged man. "Min" looks steely and determined; "Bill" looks dazed and confused, and is draped in a fishing net.

Text reads: A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ALL TALKING picture

Marie Dressler
Wallace Beery

A George Hill production

Suggested from the book "Dark Star" by Lorna Moon

As well as scriptwriting, Moon achieved critical success with her 1929 novel DARK STAR – “an uncompromising picture of rural life… it explores the precarious social structures, sexual instabilities & surface hypocrisies that shape its confines”. It was adapted for the screen as MIN & BILL (1930), starring Marie Dressler & Wallace Beery

Cover of the first edition of Lorna Moon’s novel DARK STAR (1929)

A striking red cover, with large, bold black lettering across the top, reading

DARK
STAR

The bottom third of the cover is dominated by a single, high, curling white wave. On top of that, along the base of the cover, are three smaller black wakes. Written on top of the black waves, in white, is the author's name: LORNA MOON

The Far Side of Lorna Moon

A black-and-white photograph of a dark-haired, dark-eyed young woman, wearing a sleeveless dress which leaves here arms and shoulders bare. Her hair is cut in a 1920s bob. She has her left side turned towards us, and she is looking over her shoulder at the camera.

"#LA is everything #Trump will never be: big-hearted, decent, and inspired.

LA is the most American city. LA, through #Hollywood, created America. It's the reason most of the world loves this country. It's how we've won the hearts and minds of much of the world even as we've committed mindless atrocities.
And Hollywood is just one jewel in that Oasis. It's the immigrants who have always made and remade #LosAngeles into the place everyone dreams of going. They bring their imagination of a better life to the desert nestled between the mountains and the sea. And they do the brutal work that makes all of our dreaming possible."
