Kort biografi
Sylvia Kahn was born in New York City and raised in the Bronx, living behind her parents' candy store. After graduating from high school at age 16, she begam working in the mailroom of Dell Publishing.

By the time she was 23, she had risen to the editorial department and was sent to Los Angeles to become Dell's West Coast editor. She met her future husband, struggling writer Irving Wallace, when he began freelancing for Modern Screen, a popular fan magazine owned by Dell. They married in 1941 and had two children. When America became involved in World War II, Irving Wallace enlisted in the Army Air Forces. After the war ended, the couple traveled extensively, financing their trips through magazine writing.
As a high-powered editor of Modern Screen and Photoplay magazine, Sylvia Wallace met and mingled with Hollywood stars and other power brokers.
However, with the demands of motherhood, she decided to spend more time at home and switched to working as her husband's researcher and editor and managing business affairs. In 1976 when she was 59, Sylvia Wallace published her novel The Fountains, followed four years later by Empress. In both novels, she drew on her Hollywood experiences, dealing with elite people or those in the public eye. She also collaborated with her family, including her daughter Amy Wallace, to pen "The Book of Lists #2" and "The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People."

Drucilla: que ve peligrar su matrimonio.
