Isabel Johnston was born on Jul 16, 1898 in USA. Isabel Johnston's big-screen debut came with A Woman Who Understood directed by William Parke in 1920.

Isabel M. Johnston was born in 1868 in Pennsylvania and began writing scenarios in Hollywood in 1918. She is credited with about a dozen screenplays over a ten-year period, and also had two daughters who also wrote for studios; Agnes (b. 1896) and Isabel (b. 1899). In 1920 the three women shared a bungalow at 1911 Pinehurst Road in Hollywood near the home of better-known writer Edgar Rice Burroughs (who lived at 2029 while he wrote the earliest Tarzan books), art director Wilfred Buckland (who killed his emotionally unstable older son and committed suicide in 1946 at 2035), and famed songwriter Carrie Jacobs Bond (who wrote "I Love You Truly" at her secluded mansion known as The End of the Road at 2042).
