Olive Higgins Prouty (1882-1974) was an American novelist, best
known for her pioneering consideration of psychotherapy in Now,
Voyager and her feminist melodrama Stella Dallas (1922). The latter
was used as the basis for two successful films - the 1937 version,
which starred Barbara Stanwyck, was nominated for two Academy
Awards - and a radio serial which was broadcast daily for 18 years,
despite Prouty's legal efforts. Prouty is also known for her
philanthropic works, and for her resulting association with Sylvia
Plath, whom she encountered as a result of endowing a Smith College
scholarship for "promising young writers." She supported Plath
financially in the wake of Plath's unsuccessful 1953 suicide
attempt; subsequently, Plath used Prouty as the basis of the
character of "Philomena Guinea" in her 1963 novel, The Bell Jar. In
1961, Prouty wrote her memoirs but, as her public profile had
diminished, could not find a publisher; she had them printed at her
own expense. She also wrote The Fifth Wheel (1915).
