Born 1864-10-17, St Helier, Jersey. After her father died of typhus (1865), she and her sister were raised by their grandmother, Lucy Ann Willcocks/Saunders, 'an Anglo-Irish aristocrat and daughter of Sir Richard Willcocks, in the ways of upper-class society', in Guelph, Ontario [Wikipedia]. 'This training not only gave her an entrée [sic] into aristocratic circles on her return to Europe, but it led her to be considered an authority on style and breeding when she worked in Hollywood'. When her mother remarried, she returned (1872) to St Helier. 'Her subsequent education at her stepfather's house was by governesses.'

More from Wikipedia: Elinor Glyn specialized 'in romantic fiction which was considered scandalous for its time. She popularized the concept of It [which she described as 'self-confidence and indifference as to whether you are pleasing or not', though some erroneously call it 'sex appeal']. Although her works are relatively tame by modern standards, she had tremendous influence on early 20th century popular culture and perhaps on the careers of notable Hollywood stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson and Clara Bow in particular.... Apart from being a scriptwriter for the silent movie industry, working for both MGM and Paramount Pictures in Hollywood in the mid-1920s, she had a brief career as one of the earliest female directors.... Elinor Glyn died [in London, UK] after a short illness, aged 78.'
