Marjorie Kellogg, whose title character in her 1968 bestselling novel, Tell Me that You Love Me, Junie Moon, was immortalized by Liza Minnelli in the movie adaptation, has died.
Ms. Kellogg, a graduate of Smith College, was a hospital social worker. With the encouragement of her friend and fellow writer Paula Fox, Kellog wrote her tender funny novel about three friends with daunting disabilities who set up housekeeping together. Ms. Kellogg also wrote the screenplay for the 1970 movie by the same name which was directed by Otto Preminger.
Kellogg, who was 83, died of Alzheimer's.
