Renowned teenage detective Nancy Drew was introduced to readers in 1930, with over five decades of books written by a series of ghostwriters under the name of Carolyn Keene. Starring Bonita Granville, the series made its film debut with NANCY DREW...DETECTIVE ('38). While the four film adaptations differed from books with a more comedic flair, syndicate owner Harriett Adams was pleased with the adaptations.
