Overview: LEIGH BRACKETT was born in Los Angeles, California on December 7, 1915. Her first published science fiction story was “Martian Quest”, which appeared in the February 1940 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. Her first novel, “No Good from a Corpse”, published in 1944, was a hard-boiled mystery novel in the tradition of Raymond Chandler. Leigh Brackett wrote a few film treatments and television scripts under the pseudonym “George Sanders”; named for her favorite film star. In 1946, Planet Stories published one of Brackett’s most influential short stories, “Lorelei of the Red Mists”, a collaboration with Ray Bradbury, featuring Eric John Stark, Brackett’s hallmark science fiction character. While Brackett published mainly short fiction in the 1940s, she concentrated on longer works of fiction in the fifties and early sixties. Brackett wrote well-over a dozen movie and television screenplays; many of which won or were nominated for Academy Awards. Most notably The Big Sleep (1945), Rio Bravo (1958) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Most of Brackett’s science fiction is best characterized as either “Space Opera” or “Planetary Romance”. Leigh Douglass Brackett died on March 24, 1978 in Lancaster California.
