Maie B. Havey (born Marie Judge, and sometimes credited as Maibelle Havey or M.B. Havey or Marie Havey) was an American screenwriter active during the earliest years of Hollywood. During her decade in the industry, she was credited on nearly 70 screenplays.[1][2]

Biography[edit]

Maie was born in New York City to Joseph Judge and Mary Kane; her father died when she was young. Her pen name may have come from a stepfather her mother remarried when she was young. In 1913, Maie — who had worked as a magazine writer[3] — was signed as a scenarist for the Lubin Manufacturing Company, and she later worked at Universal[4] and Bessie Barriscale Pictures.[5] She was close friends with actress Fay Tincher, with whom she often worked; the pair even lived together for a time.[6] Little is known of what became of her after 1920, when she wrote her last known scenario for Hollywood.
