= Jane Shore (novelist) = Jane Shore (1916-1970), also known as Jane Allen, was an American novelist.

Career
Along with Silvia Schulman, Shore is the co-author of I Lost My Girlish Laughter, which was first published in 1938. "Jane Allen" is a pen name for both Shore and Schulman, although Schulman is separately referred to as "J.E. Smyth" in some editions. I Lost My Girlish Laughter is based on Schulman's experiences while working for David O. Selznick. It explores the industry workings of Golden Age Hollywood through the fictional letters and memos of protagonist Madge Lawrence, personal secretary to a powerful film producer. The memos and letters frequently mention real Hollywood figures of the time, such as Clark Gable and Ben Hecht.

Shore's books were twice adapted to film.
