Lillie Hayward entered the motion picture industry in 1919 as a script editor, gradually working her way up the ladder to full screenwriter in 1924. Hayward spent most of the 1930s at Warner Bros., specializing in action fare. She also worked on two of the best-ever Hollywood "B"s: Paramount's The Biscuit Eater (1940) and RKO's Follow Me Quietly (1949). Among Lillie Hayward's last assignments were several family-oriented Disney films, including Tonka (1959), The Shaggy Dog (1959) and Toby Tyler (1960). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide less
