Abbe (or Abbie) Carter Goodloe (January 15, 1867 – October 8, 1960) was an American writer, sometimes credited as A. Carter Goodloe or Carter Goodloe.[1]
Early life
[edit]Abbie Carter was born in Versailles, Kentucky, the daughter of John Kemp Goodloe and Mary Lucretia Goodloe. Her mother was a clubwoman,[2] and her father was a lawyer and a judge.[3] She graduated from Wellesley College in 1898,[4][5] and wrote the lyrics for two songs in the college songbook ("Mona Lisa" and "Le Pays du Tendre").[6] After college she went to France to improve her French language skills.[7]
Career
[edit]Goodloe was a writer who specialized in short stories,[5][8] many of which were published in Scribner's Magazine.[9] She also did translations for Scribner's.[7] Books by Goodloe included Antinoüs: a tragedy (1891),[10] College Girls (1895, a collection of her stories, illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson),[11] Calvert of Strathore (1903, a novel),[12] At the Foot of the Rockies (1905, more short stories),[13][14] and The Star-Gazers (1910, a romance set in Mexico).[15] Her style was described as "vivid", and "essentially clever and racy to a delightful degree", in an 1895 review.[16] She also wrote plays. Her story "Claustrophobia" (Scribner's, 1926) won an O. Henry Award in 1927; it was made into a film titled I Live My Life (1935), starring Joan Crawford and Brian Aherne.[17] Later in her career, she sold scenarios for television productions.[7]
During World War I, she hosted fundraising events for war relief causes with the Wellesley Club of Kentucky.[18][19]
Personal life
[edit]Goodloe played golf.[20] She died in 1960, aged 93 years, in New York City. Her stories are still anthologized in collections of American literature.[21]
