Bess Streeter Aldrich |
|
Bess Streeter Aldrich was one of the few writers who could say that she sold every thing she ever wrote. She was born in Cedar Falls, Iowa, but moved to Elmwood, Nebraska as a young bride and mother in 1909. It was in Plattsmouth that she wrote her books, short stories and raised her children. She moved to Lincoln in 1945. In 1941, her novel, Miss Bishop, was transformed into a film, Cheers for Miss Bishop, starring Martha Scott as the main character. In 1995, A Lantern in Her Hand became a TV movie (teleplay by Earl Hamner, Jr. of The Waltons fame) called A Mother's Gift. Aldrich was inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame in 1971-72. buy Bess Streeter Aldrich books here >Watch Cheers for Miss Bishop online now > |
