Lorna Moon (born Nora Helen Wilson Low) was a Scottish author and screenwriter from the early days of Hollywood. She was born in Strichen in Aberdeenshire.

In 1907 Nora emigrated to Canada with her husband, William Hebditch. She worked as a journalist in Winnipeg where she adopted a pen-name based on her literary inspiration, Lorna Doone. An anecdote tells how she contacted Cecil B. DeMille and offered a critical appraisal of the screenplays of the day. He challenged her to come to Hollywood and write them herself if she thought she could do better; and by 1921 she did just that, working as a script girl and screenwriter.

Her literary works include Doorways in Drumorty (1925), a collection of short stories, and the novel Dark Star (1929). Dar ...more

Quotes by Lorna Moon (?)

“Mightent it be a good idea to have Aley approach Barrie about a preface while he is over there? But not for God's sake if you think somebody is going to say that I 'write like Barrie'. I once said that I'd always wanted to write 'as WELL as Barrie', and of course 'well' became 'like'. I don't write at all like Barrie. Do I?”
― Lorna Moon, The Collected Works of Lorna Moon

“To Frances Marion

I’ve made a song for you
Drawn from the stones that lie in shadowed pools
Moss sealing their lips
I’ve made a song for you
Taken from things that wake at starlight
Lain-quiet in the Blue;
And from the ferns that sleep
Deep in a cline by day;
And from the wind that bears the seed of Gorse by night;
And from my cagéd heart that cries
Soundless, behind its silver bars,
I’ve made a song for you.

From all the silent things of day,
From all the quiet things of night,
I’ve made this song for you.

Lorna Moon 25 Feb 1929 (unpublished poem)”
