Biography

Origins

Hill was born in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. When she was 20, she married her first husband. She moved to Hollywood and gained work as a studio stenographer, and eventually made her way to a script-girl role.

Career

Hill and Vidor fell in love on the set of Bird of Paradise in 1932; at the time, Hill was divorced, but Vidor was married to actress Eleanor Boardman.[1][2][3] Boardman secured a divorce in 1933.[4]

In 1933, there were rumours circulating around Hollywood that Hill had disappeared, but columnist Louella Parsons investigated and found that Hill was still working as a script girl alongside Vidor.[5] Vidor and Hill's ongoing relationship was the subject of many gossip items until the two got married in Mexico in 1937.[6][7]

Hill and Vidor collaborated on several projects over the course of their relationship, including H.M. Pulham, Esq.[8][9] According to a 1934 L.A. Times piece, Hill was entrusted with directing several scenes in Vidor's Our Daily Bread.[10][11]

Divorce

In 1951, Hill sued Vidor for divorce on the grounds of adultery, alleging that he was having an affair with actress Mary Anderson.[12][13] The high-profile divorce case was eventually settled for $300,000; Vidor had counter-filed alleging that their marriage in Mexico was illegal.[14]
