Author and one-shot screenwriter Kathleen Tynan was most famous for writing an important biography for her late husband Kenneth Tynan, one of Great Britain's most influential contemporary theater critics. He died in 1980 and Tynan published the book seven years later. Shortly thereafter, she helped edit a selection of her husband's writing and in 1990 published it as the book Profiles. Tynan went on to prove herself a distinctive and important critic in her own right. Tynan also penned fiction -- her novel The Summer Aeroplane (1975) became the basis for the film Agatha (1978). Tynan also adapted author Louise Brooks' Lulu in Hollywood into a screenplay, but it was never made into a film.
