Jay Presson Allen
Jay Presson Allen (March 3, 1922 – May 1, 2006) was an American screenwriter, playwright, stage director, television producer and novelist. Known for her withering wit and sometimes-off-color wisecracks, she was one of the few women making a living as a screenwriter at a time when women were a rarity in the profession.〔''New York Times'', Obituary. May 2, 2006.〕 "You write to please yourself," she said, "The only office where there's no superior is the office of the scribe."〔''L.A. Times.'' October 5, 1982. 6.〕
==Early life==
Allen was born Jacqueline Presson in San Angelo, Texas, the only child of May (née Miller), a buyer, and Albert Jeffrey Presson, a department store merchant.〔(Profile ) Filmreference.com; accessed October 16, 2014.〕 She was "never particularly fond of her given name", and decided to use her first initial when writing. She would spend every Saturday and Sunday in the movie house, from one o’clock until somebody dragged her out at seven. From that time on movies became very important to her, and Allen knew she wouldn't be staying in West Texas. Allen attended Miss Hockaday's School for Young Ladies in Dallas for a couple of years, but came away with, in her words, as "having had no education to speak of."〔McGilligan, 1986.〕 She skipped college and at 18 left home to become an actress. In New York, her career lasted "for about twenty-five minutes" Allen says, when she realized that she only liked rehearsals and the first week of performance, and would rather be "out there" where the decisions were being made.〔Acker, 1991. pp. 201–203.〕
