Marty Holland was born Mary Hauenstein on November 2, 1913 in Beaverdam, Ohio. She began writing at 12, and after moving to Hollywood with her family, she got a job as a script typist for the movie studios. Her writing career began with short stories for the pulps before her first novel in 1945, Fallen Angel, which she sold to 20th Century Fox and was immediately filmed by Otto Preminger. She followed this with The Glass Heart, a twisted tale of deceit for which James M. Cain wrote an unfilmed screenplay; and the 1950 story idea for The File on Thelma Jordon, directed by Robert Siodmak and starring Barbara Stanwyck. Holland continued to write stories and screenplays and did uncredited writing for TV before dying of cancer in 1971. Her final novel, Baby Godiva, was published posthumously in 2011.
