Biography
Lee came out of the Tin Pan Alley school of songwriting, and was given a contract by Ambassador Pictures to write songs for a few of its films.[3] By the time she was 19, she began writing screenplays; her first feature, Swing It, Professor, was released in 1937. She often collaborated on scripts with Karen DeWolf: As a duo, the two penned Nine Girls and many of the Blondie titles.
Lee married screenwriter Seymour Bennett (born Seymour Berkowitz) at some point in the early 1950s; the pair collaborated on the story for 1953's The Last Posse. Lee's and Bennett's careers came to an end by the early 1950s when they were placed on the Hollywood blacklist for alleged Communist ties.[4] Lee and Bennett were named in 1953 by fellow screenwriter David Lang.[5]
