Agnes Brand Leahy (August 18, 1893 – March 31, 1934) was an American screenwriter active in the 1920s and early 1930s.

Biography

Born Agnes Laura Brand in Portland, Oregon, and raised in Washington, she married Fred Leahy in Seattle in 1913. The pair seems to have relocated to Southern California soon after and secured jobs at Paramount—she as a stenographer and he as a production manager.

Eventually Brand Leahy worked her way up the ranks, first moving into editing work and ultimately becoming a scenarist at the studio.[1][2] Census records indicate that she may have also worked as an assistant director, although she is not credited as such.

Over the course of her career, she worked with filmmakers like Dorothy Arzner (another former Paramount stenographer), Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and Frank R. Strayer. Her best-known films include Get Your Man, Red Hair, and The Night of June 13.

After a prolonged illness and leave from Paramount, Leahy died at the age of 40 at a sanitarium near San Francisco. The pair had no children.[3]
