Biography
Cecile was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Arthur Lewis and Bertha Davis. She assumed her stepfather Edward Kramer’s last name when her mother remarried. The family moved west and settled in Los Angeles by the time Cecile and her half-sister Bertha were teenagers. By the 1940s, she was writing film scripts; one of her earliest sales was a Hopalong Cassidy script she co-wrote with Ellen Corby. Most of the films she wrote or co-wrote were penned for Harry Sherman’s independent production company.
