Frederica Alexandrina Sagor Maas (/ˌfrɛdəˈrikə səˈɡɔːr mæs/; July 6, 1900 – January 5, 2012) was an American screenwriter, playwright, memoirist, and author, the youngest daughter of Jewish immigrants from Russia. As an essayist, Maas was best known for a detailed, tell-all memoir of her time spent in early Hollywood. A supercentenarian, she was one of the oldest surviving entertainers from the silent film era.
