Biography
[edit ]Mahoney was born to Daniel Mahoney and Ellen Kane in Elma, Iowa, where she grew up on a farm; she also spent time in Chicago.[3] By the early 1910s, she had moved to Hollywood, where she worked as a stenographer before breaking into the film industry as a screenwriter.[4] Her first known screenwriting assignment involved adapting Charles Thomas Dazey's story into the 1917 silent drama Peggy Leads the Way , directed by Ingraham and shot on location at Ben Lomond near Santa Cruz, California.[5] She continued writing through around 1920, at which point she was residing in Hollywood. Little is known of what happened to her after that date.
