== Career ==
Helene Hanff's career saw her move from writing unproduced plays to helping create some of the earliest television dramas to becoming a kind of professional New Yorker, going far beyond the charm of her most famous book. She wrote a memoir in 1961 called ''Underfoot in Show Business''〔Underfoot in Show Business. Harper and Row, 1962. ISBN 0-316-34319-6〕 that chronicled her struggles as an ambitious young playwright trying to make it in the world of New York theatre in the 1940s and 1950s. She worked in publicists' offices and spent summers on the "straw hat circuit" along the East Coast, all the while writing one play after another. Her plays were admired by some of Broadway's leading producers but somehow none of them ever made it to the stage.
When network television production geared up in New York City in the early 1950s, Hanff found a new career writing and editing scripts for many early television dramas. Chief among these was the Dumont Network series ''The Adventures of Ellery Queen''. At the same time, she continued to try to get one of her plays produced on Broadway and not just be "one of the 999 out of 1,000 who didn't become Moss Hart." (In later editions of ''Underfoot'', this reference was changed to Noël Coward.) The bulk of television production eventually moved to California, but Hanff chose to remain in New York. As her TV work dried up, she turned to writing for magazines and, eventually, to the books that made her reputation.
