Thelma Strabel
Thelma L. Strabel( 19 December 1900 – 28 May 1959) was an American novelist who specialized in tales of the American South and sea adventures.
She is best known for her novel" Reap the Wild Wind", which was serialized in the" Saturday Evening Post" and became a successful film.
Strabel was born in Crown Point, Indiana on December 19, 1900, the first child of grocer John George Strabel and his wife Nannsie.
( For unknown reasons, Strabel later claimed Pennsylvania as her birthplace.)
She was the great- granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln's private secretary, General John Hall.
She grew up in Champaign- Urbana, Illinois, but spent much of her youth also in southwestern Pennsylvania, her mother's native district.
Strabel published her first short story in the children's section of a Pittsburgh newspaper.
At 16, she worked as a census enumerator for the local census board.
She graduated from the University of Illinois and later became a fashion reporter in Paris and an advertising copywriter for the Abraham& Straus department store.
While convalescing from an illness in Switzerland, she began to write fiction as a vocation.
Among her early works are" Smart Woman"( 1933)," Streamline Marriage"( 1937)," For Richer -- Or For Poorer?"( 1938), and" You Ca n't Escape Forever"( 1938).
She wrote several novels set in exotic locales ranging from Caribbean islands to the jungles of Peru.
Her best known story," Reap the Wild Wind"( 1940), is a romantic saga of the wreckers in and around Key West, Florida.
Producer- director Cecil B. DeMille bought the novel and, with numerous alterations, produced a popular movie version starring Paulette Goddard and John Wayne in 1942.
Strabel was so enamored of Key West and its unique history that she built a house there following the sale of the story to The Saturday Evening Post in 1940.
The house, located at 400 South Street, was described by Strabel, not without argument, as the southernmost house in the United States.
It remained a popular site for visitors to the island until its demolition and replacement by a larger house.
Strabel married David P. Godwin, who was the chief of fire control for the U.S. Forest Service, an agency which served as the subject of her short story" The Forest Ranger"( also filmed in 1942, as" The Forest Rangers").
Godwin was killed in a plane crash June 13, 1947, and Strabel never remarried.
Strabel's later novels and stories include" Storm to the South"( 1944), a romance of Bolivarian Peru," You Were There"( a Woman's Home Companion serialized novel, filmed as" Undercurrent"[ 1946]), and" Caribee"( 1957), a romantic novel revolving around the Mount Pelée volcanic disaster of 1902.
Strabel died of cancer on May 28, 1959, in Washington DC.
She was buried in Charleston, South Carolina.
Cecil B. DeMille
Cecil Blount DeMille (August 12, 1881 – January 21, 1959) was an American filmmaker.
Between 1914 and 1958, he made a total of 70 features, both silent and sound films.
He is acknowledged as a founding father of the American cinema and the most commercially successful producer-director in film history.
His films were distinguished by their epic scale and by his cinematic showmanship.
His silent films were more diverse in genre, among which included social dramas, comedies, Westerns, farces, morality plays, and historical pageants.
DeMille began his career as a stage actor in 1900.
He later moved to writing and directing stage productions, some with Jesse Lasky, who was then a vaudeville producer.
DeMille's first film, "The Squaw Man" (1914), was also the first feature film shot in Hollywood.
Its interracial love story made it commercially successful and it first publicized Hollywood as the home of the U.S. film industry.
The continued success of his productions led to the founding of Paramount Pictures with Lasky and Adolph Zukor.
His first biblical epic, "The Ten Commandments" (1923), was both a critical and commercial success; it held the Paramount revenue record for twenty-five years.
DeMille directed "The King of Kings" (1927), a biography of Jesus, which gained approval for its sensitivity and reached more than 800 million viewers. "
The Sign of the Cross" (1932) is said to be the first sound film to integrate all aspects of cinematic technique.
"Cleopatra" (1934) was his first film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
After more than thirty years in film production, DeMille reached a pinnacle in his career with "Samson and Delilah" (1949), a biblical epic which became the highest-grossing film of 1950.
Along with biblical and historical narratives, he also directed films oriented toward "neo-naturalism", which tried to portray the laws of man fighting the forces of nature.
He received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director for his circus drama
"The Greatest Show on Earth" (1952), which won both the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
His last and best known film, "The Ten Commandments" (1956), also a Best Picture Academy Award nominee, is currently the eighth-highest-grossing film of all time, adjusted for inflation.
In addition to his Best Picture Awards, he received an Academy Honorary Award for his film contributions, the Palme d'Or (posthumously) for "Union Pacific" (1939), a DGA Award for Lifetime Achievement, and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.
He was the first recipient of the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, which was named in his honor.
DeMille's reputation as a filmmaker has grown over time and his work has influenced many other films and directors.

Reap the Wild Wind
Reap the Wild Wind is an American 1942 adventure film starring Ray Milland, John Wayne, Paulette Goddard, Robert Preston, and Susan Hayward, and directed by Cecil B. DeMille, his second picture to be filmed in color.
It is based on a serialized story written by Thelma Strabel in 1940 for "The Saturday Evening Post".
The movie, released shortly after the United States' entry into World War II, was a swashbuckling adventure set in the 1840s along the Florida coast, and was wildly successful.
While he based his film on Strabel's story, DeMille took liberties with details such as sibling relationships and subplots, while staying true to the spirit of the story, which centers on a headstrong, independent woman portrayed by Paulette Goddard.
