Born in Brooklyn, New York as Eleanor Sallée Harris, she grew up in Beverly Hills in a family of seven, all of whom were also writers. She attended Stanford University and landed a job as a junior writer at Twentieth Century Fox within a week of graduation. However, believing she didn’t have that ‘killer instinct’ for script writing, she moved to New York and eventually pursued a career in writing magazine articles instead. Her first article, ‘Don’t Stop, Don’t Look, Just Marry,’ sold to Cosmopolitan and was subsequently also included in a textbook on magazine writing. From 1947 onwards, she wrote articles for most of the major magazines, including profiles on such people as Adlai Stevenson, Princess Margaret, and actors and actresses of the time. She wrote numerous articles on the Arnaz family throughout the years for such magazines as Look, McCall’s, and The Reader’s Digest.
Harris was married to Jack R. Howard from 1964 until her death in 1997 in New York City, aged 84.visualizza meno
