- The daughter of silent-screen star Alma Hanlon and Broadway writer/press agent Walter Kingsley, Dorothy Kingsley began her career as an uncredited gag writer for the Bob Hope Radio Show and, later, the Edgar Bergen Radio Show. Producer Arthur Freed put her under contract to MGM; her first assignment was polishing the Garland-Rooney musical Girl Crazy (1943). She later wrote a number of scripts for Debbie Reynolds and 'Esther Williams (I)'. After leaving Hollywood for Carmel, California, she and her husband William Durney started the Durney Vineyard brand winery.
