From The Big Sleep to The Long Goodbye and More or Less How We Got There - Leigh Brackett

Grab what you can get: the screenwriter as journeyman plumber a conversation with Leigh Brackett - Steve Swires

(Information below is from Andrew Sergeant at the NLA, I have not read it myself as yet)

Runs from pages 413 to 421 of the Aug/Sep 1976 issue of Films In Review.
It consists of a couple of paragraphs of introductory information, on her career and life, followed by the transcript of Swires' interview with her (at a science fiction convention in Washington in September 1974), and features a small photo of Brackett with Howard Hawkes on page 415, working on the script for 'El Dorado'.

There are a few excerpts of this online here :-

"LB: That was Hawks. I have been at swords' points with him many a time because I don't like doing a thing over again, and he does. I remember one day he and John Wayne and I were sitting in the office, and he said we'll do such and such a thing. I said: "But Howard, you did it in Rio Bravo. You don't want to do this over again." He said: "Why not?" And John Wayne, all six feet four of him, looked down and said: "If it was good once it'll be just as good again." I know when I'm outgunned, so I did it. But I just don't like repeating myself. However, I'm wrong about half the time."

Who Is This Curt Phillips Person Anyway? - Curt Phillips

"Do you like Edgar Rice Burroughs?" a voice next to me asked. I looked up at a pleasant looking older woman who'd sat down nearby. I said that I did, and she asked if I'd read any of his Martian series. Well, *this* was interesting. This lady who looked a little like my grandmother knew about Burroughs, and as we talked it turned out that she knew a lot more about Burroughs than I did. And Ray Bradbury too. And also Heinlein and all the other writers that I liked. I don't know how long we talked, but I was sitting there explaining a famous Bradbury story - while she listened politely and nodded in the right places - when someone walked over to her and handed her a book. She took a pen from her purse and wrote something in it and handed it back. And then someone else came over with a whole shopping bag full of books. Intrigued by this, I edged over to see what she was writing and learned that my new friend, this grandmotherly lady who'd so politely listened to me explain Ray Bradbury, was Leigh Brackett.

Later that afternoon I got her to sign a book for me too. It's still one of my prized posessions."

Author's Introduction to Stark and the Star Kings - Leigh Brackett and Edmond Hamilton

"Twenty-six-and-a-half years ago, when we got married, we thought collaboration would be an easy and delightful thing. We could, we thought, begin now to turn out twice as many stories with half the effort.

We tried it.

Once."
