Biography

Born in New York, Doris was the daughter of Edward Schroeder and Phoebe Kent. She attended Brooklyn Girls High School before becoming a stenographer for Rollin S. Sturgeon and then a scenario writer for Vitagraph and Universal.[2]

Her first screenplay was the now-lost Heart of a Jewess. During the 1920s, Schroeder specialized in "women's pictures" for directors like Lois Weber. Schroeder concentrated on Westerns, together with Harrison Jacobs she wrote several entries in the Hopalong Cassidy series.[3] During the 1950s and 1960s, she wrote many television and film tie-in young adult novels for Western Publishing.

Her brother, Edward Schroeder, eventually moved to Hollywood and became a prolific film editor; he, too, worked on Westerns.[4] Her husband, George Green, was a screenwriter and producer who also worked in the Western genre. The pair divorced in 1944.
