Kathryn Scola (November 6, 1891 – January 4, 1982)[1] was an American screenwriter.[2] She worked on more than thirty films during the 1930s and 1940s. Scola worked in Hollywood for a multitude of prominent production companies during the studio era, including Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and 20th Century Fox.[3] Scola’s career took place during the transition from unregulated Pre-Code films to the implementation of the Motion Picture Production Code, and she was frequently involved in writing screenplays that were deemed too controversial by the Motion Picture Association of America. Three of Scola’s films were included in the Forbidden Hollywood film series, including Baby Face, Female, and Midnight Mary.
