Biography
Born in Evansville, Indiana,[1] to John Seitz and Viola Wright, Isabel worked at newspapers[2] like The Evansville Courier and The Kokomo Dispatch and attended Valparaiso University before moving to New York City.[3] Around this time, she married her first husband, Thomas Goss.
While in New York City, she and a fellow playwright were hit by a taxi; she spent a good deal of time in the hospital recovering. Her writing partner did not make it.[2]
She appeared in a number of stage plays, radio plays, and films in New York and Los Angeles prior to her 1934 marriage to screenwriter Boyce DeGaw. She and DeGaw collaborated on a number of scripts together[4] before divorcing around 1941.[5] She later married Ray Herr.[6]
Many of her screenplays were written for Republic Pictures; she frequently worked with director Joseph Santley.
She died in Woodland Hills, California, at the age of 66.[7]
