Write, write, write: Some of the many unknown faces of screenwriters

Some of the many unknown faces of screenwriters

I've come across these images in Backstory 2 and Backstory 3 (great interviews, read them all!) and post them here so that I can add them to the Pinterest Screenwriters board.

Take a look at the pictures below, take a look at the ever-growing board on Pinterest - the faces of those who have given us many of the most iconic movie memories. How many of these faces do people know - heck, most have never even heard of the names!

As screenwriters we should know our history, we have much to be proud of. For me, it forms part of my 12 screenwriting principles - #6 > Know your world.
