Virginia Kellogg
Virginia Kellogg (December 3, 1907 – April 8, 1981) was a film writer whose scripts for White Heat (1949) and Caged (1950) were nominated for Oscars. In order to research Caged, the subject of which is women in prison, she became an inmate. With the assistance of authorities, she was incarcerated with a false conviction for embezzlement and served time in four American prisons.[1]
She was a reporter for The Los Angeles Times before she wrote scripts.[2]
In 1955, she was married director Frank Lloyd, who died five years later. In 1963 she married Albert Mortensen, a retired railroad executive.
Her obituary appeared in the Los Angeles Times on April 20, 1981 (page 22).
