Per Wikipedia, Winnifred Eaton (August 21, 1875 ? April 8, 1954) Was A Canadian Author And Screenwriter Of Chinese-British Ancestry.[1] Publishing Prolifically Under A Number Of Names,[2] Most Predominantly, The Pseudonym Onoto Watanna, She Was One Of The First North American Writers Of Asian Descent To Publish Fiction In English. After Marrying Frank Reeve And Moving To Alberta, Eaton Continued To Write Fiction And Journalism, Mostly With An Albertan Focus. She Became Intrigued By The Financial Opportunities Offered In The Burgeoning Film Industry And Began To Write Scenarios, Or Early Screenplays, For Silent Films. After Receiving Her First Credit From Universal Studios In 1921 For The Scenario For The Silent Film False Kisses, She Left Calgary In 1924 To Work At Universal's New York City Offices. The Following Year, Universal Tapped Her To Lead Their Scenario Department In Hollywood, California. She Also Ghost-Wrote Scripts For Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She Is Credited On Six Films, All Produced By Universal; Her Work On Many Others Remains Uncredited.
