'''Jane Storm''' (born '''Genevieve Grogan'''; November 4, 1894 – May 15, 1982) was an American screenwriter active in the 1930s and 1940s.
== Biography == Genevieve Grogan was born in Cyget, Ohio, in 1894 to Michael Grogan and Mary King. She was raised in Ohio as part of a big family, and they were all living in Los Angeles by 1920.
In 1926, she married her first husband, commercial artist Floyd Storm. The marriage did not last long; by 1931, she had sought (and won) a divorce on the grounds that Floyd was drinking heavily.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/380657097/?terms=%22floyd%2Bstorm%22%2Bjane|title=Drink Brings Divorce|date=November 6, 1931|work=The Los Angeles Times|access-date=January 21, 2019}}</ref>
