Anna Mar (1887–1917; née Anna Yakovlevna Brovar, Russian: Анна Мар), who used the pseudonym Printsessa Gryoza ("La Princesse Lointaine", or "Princess Dream"), was a Russian screenwriter, playwright, novelist, and journalist.[1][2][3] She was one of the most prolific screenwriters of early Russian cinema and 13 films were made from her scripts between 1914 and 1918.[2]
Her most significant work is the novel Zhenshchina Na Kreste (English: Woman on the Cross; in a censored version, 1916; the full text was published in 1918).[3][4] From 1914 to 1917, under the pseudonym "Printsessa Gryoza" equivalent to "La Princesse Lointaine" (literally, "Princess Dream")[5], Mar was in charge of the “Intimate Conversations” section of the Journal for Women. Her constant dialogue with readers supplied Mar with themes for her many screenplays.[3]
She died of suicide on April 1, 1917, in Moscow.[2]
