Born Agnes Laura Brand in Portland, Oregon, and raised in Washington state, she married Fred Leahy in Seattle in 1913. The pair seems to have relocated to Southern California soon after and secured jobs at Paramount—she as a stenographer and he as a production manager.
Eventually Brand Leahy worked her way up the ranks, first moving into editing work and ultimately becoming a scenarist at the studio.[2][3] Census records indicate that she may have also worked as an assistant director, although she is not credited as such.[citation needed]
