Biography

Orr was born in Covington, Kentucky, the youngest of four children born to John Orr and Luella Roberts. The family relocated to Denver, Colorado, when she was young.

Orr began her career writing for The Denver Post in Denver, Colorado; her first assignment was writing obituaries.[2][3] After moving to Hollywood and starting at Fox in the publicity department, she soon worked her way into the writing department; in 1925, she was the only woman on that team.[4][5]

Orr also wrote a biography of famed circus tiger trainer Mabel Stark called Hold That Tiger in 1938.[6]

Her marriage to Harold Martin ended in divorce.
