She also wrote short stories and published several books. She was the mother of former political consultant Dick Morris. Biographical detailsMorris was born in New York City and was a graduate of Hunter College, where she received both a B.A. and an M.A. Before embarking on a writing career in 1945, she taught in the New York City Public Schools.[1] In 1967, McCall's magazine published her exclusive interview with Svetlana Alliluyeva, daughter of Joseph Stalin.[1] Morris also had articles published in Redbook, Readers Digest and Cosmopolitan.[2] She was one of the early proponents of the confessional human interest story and said she took “considerable license with the facts that are given to me.”[3] Her last book, published posthumously by her son, was called Confessions of a Freelance Writer: How I Got Started. In it, she describes herself as a "garbage pail" collecting casual remarks from others and shaping them into human interest stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.[2] She was married to Eugene J. Morris and was the mother of Dick Morris.[1] Publications (selected list)
