Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Power of Women in Hollywood(2000)

Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Power of Women in Hollywood is a documentary portrait of one of cinema's most influential screenwriters. Between 1915 and 1939, Frances Marion wrote over 200 films and became the world's highest-paid screenwriter of either gender—a remarkable achievement during Hollywood's silent era. Kathy Bates narrates Marion's own words drawn from letters, diaries, and memoirs, while film historian Kevin Brownlow, critic Leonard Maltin, and biographer Cari Beauchamp provide context and insight. The film traces Marion's rise during a uniquely liberating period for women in the industry and explores her lasting impact through interviews with contemporary female filmmakers who reflect on the pioneering legacy she and her peers established in early Hollywood.
