Early life
Born Alice Reeve to lawyer Jay Frederick Reeve and journalist Josephine Medill Patterson in 1940, Reeve and her brother Joseph later took the surname of Ivan Albright, their mother's second husband. She attended Radcliffe College, from which she graduated in 1962.[1] She also received her MFA degree from the Columbia University School of the Arts in 1981.[2]
Career
Reeve married James Hoge, a longtime employee of the Chicago Sun-Times in her native city after earning her degree and began working for CBS. The couple had three children before their divorce in 1971. She married Michael J. Arlen the following year and later moved to New York where she began studying at the Columbia University School of the Arts in 1979.[1] Arlen met Nora Ephron, with whom she wrote the screenplay for Silkwood, which was released in 1983. She was nominated for an Oscar as Best Original Screenplay, but did not win the award. Arlen worked with director Louis Malle, writing the script for Alamo Bay (1985). Arlen and Ephron later worked together on Cookie (1989), which was directed by Susan Seidelman. Later, Arlen also wrote the screenplay for The Weight of Water (2000), and Helen Hunt's first feature film as director, Then She Found Me (2007).[3][4]
