Merriam Modell

Merriam Modell: Merriam Modell (19 May 1908 - 1 July 1994^[1] in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) was an American author of pulp fiction, who wrote under the pen-name 'Evelyn Piper'.

A graduate of Cornell University, Modell travelled extensively in her younger years, and, up to 1933, lived in Germany. Back in the United States, after marriage and motherhood (she had a son, John Modell), she published her first short story in 1941 and afterwards started to write novels as well. Films were made of The Nanny (1965), which starred Bette Davis, and Bunny Lake Is Missing (also 1965) had Laurence Olivier in the lead.
