Elinor Glyn
Elinor Glyn (
Sutherland; 17 October 1864 – 23 September 1943) was a British
novelist and
scriptwriter who specialised in
romantic fiction, which was considered scandalous for its time, although her works are relatively tame by modern standards. She popularized the concept of the ''
it-girl'', and had tremendous influence on early 20th-century popular culture and, possibly, on the careers of notable Hollywood stars such as
Rudolph Valentino,
Gloria Swanson and, especially,
Clara Bow.
