"Leigh Douglass Brackett (December 7, 1915 – March 24, 1978) was an American science fiction writer known as "the Queen of Space Opera." She wrote the screenplays for The Big Sleep (1946) , Rio Bravo (1959) , and The Long Goodbye (1973). She worked on an early draft of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) , elements of which remained in the film; she died before it went into production. In 1956, her book The Long Tomorrow made her the first woman ever shortlisted for the Hugo Award for Best Novel, and, along with C. L. Moore, one of the first two women ever nominated for a Hugo Award. "(from Wikipedia); Signed by Collection of Signatures. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
