Elizabeth Hill(1901-1978)
- Writer
Elizabeth "Betty" Hill acquired her small place in film history when
she married twice-divorced director King W Vidor in 1932 and became his
script assistant for the next several years, gaining co-writer credits
on a few of his major films like the socially-conscious "Our Daily
Bread" and "The Citadel." (King Vidor's two previous wives had been
star actresses, Florence Arto Vidor and Eleanor Boardman.) Another
responsibility that Elizabeth Hill Vidor acquired from her partnership
with King Vidor was as step-mother to his three daughters, Suzanne
(1918-2003), Antonia (1927- ) and Belinda (1930- ). American writer
Elizabeth Hill Vidor is not to be confused with the British professor
of Russian language and literature, Elizabeth Hill (translator of the
comic novel "12 Chairs" from Russian to English).
