Biography

Origins

Born to Dwight Skinner and Catherine Bingham in Hornick, Iowa, Madeleine was raised in Houston alongside her four siblings. She got her start as a newspaperwoman, working for The Houston Press from 1918 to 1920 before moving to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting.

Hollywood career

Her first job in the industry was working for Marshall Neilan's production company.[1] She began writing stories and title cards before moving her way into penning full screenplays. Many of the films she's credited on during her time in Hollywood were B-Westerns and police dramas.

In the 1950s, Ruthven was named by fellow screenwriter Richard J. Collins as a Communist sympathizer and put on the blacklist.[2]

Literary output

In addition to writing and/or contributing to over a dozen screenplays over the course of her years in the industry, she also wrote a book of poetry published by Los Angeles–based Primavera Press called Summer Denial. (When asked why she took up writing poetry, Ruthven answered, "It's cheaper than getting psychoanalyzed."[3] Another collection of poems was titled Sondelius Comes to the Mountains.[4]

Personal life

Ruthven married her first husband, Samuel Ruthven, in 1918; the marriage ended in divorce. She'd marry fellow progressive activist Reuben Borough in the 1950s.[5]
