Edna Anhalt

Edna Anhalt (born Edna Thompson) was an American screenwriter, television writer, and film producer.[1] Together with then-husband Edward Anhalt, she enjoyed some considerable success in a 10-year stretch from 1947 to her retirement in 1957. This stretch was capped with an Academy Award for Best Story win for Elia Kazan's 1950 film Panic in the Streets, and another nomination two years later for The Sniper.[2] She also wrote the screenplays to The Member of the Wedding (1952), Not as a Stranger (1955) and The Pride and the Passion (1957),[3], which was her last film credit. Following her divorce from Edward, she later moved into television script-writing and wrote episodes for anthologies The Schlitz Playhouse (1957), General Electric Theatre (1958), and The Virginian (1965).
