It's often confused with the Dodge book that formed the basis for Hitchcock's film of the same name. <br /><br />I spoke with the 2 authors of the Gypsy bios. Neither found any word of Rice writing the novels. Hopefully, we can lay that rumor to rest finally. <br /><br />Not to nitpick, it was Georgiana Randolph Craig. :) Rice was her adopted name.Jeffrey Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422459407138331707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-26863272102016054832014-03-10T15:22:44.832+01:002014-03-10T15:22:44.832+01:00Love Craig Rice.

I'll add this to my "must find" list.<br /><br />Speaking of Rice's ghosting, Wiki has this to say:<br /><br />"Craig Rice also ghostwrote for a number of celebrities, including Gypsy Rose Lee and George Sanders.[3] "While the collaboration with Gypsy is often reported, Mike Grost writes, "In the recently published and throroughly well researched biography of Gypsy Rose Lee (Stripping Gypsy: The Life of Gypsy Rose Lee, Oxford University Press, 2009) [author Noralee Frankelit makes it clear] that Craig Rice DID NOT write either of Lee's comic mystery novels. This is supported with correspondence between Lee and Rice. Rice did, however, help craft the screenplay for The G String Murders which became the Barbara Stanwyck vehicle Lady of Burlesque." Her association with Sanders came about as a result of her work on the screenplays of two of The Falcon movies, The Falcon's Brother (1942, Sanders's final outing as The Falcon) and The Falcon in Danger (1943, when Sanders's brother Tom Conway had taken over the role)."Tony Rennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786913584237340754noreply@blogger.com
