Sally Winters (also known as Sally McGowan) was an American screenwriter known for cranking out B movie Westerns in the late 1920s with her then-partner, director J.P. McGowan. She also appeared in a handful of movies as an actress.

Personal life

During the mid-1920s, she dated Worthy Butts, a well-known Hollywood automobile agent; the pair were charged with "staging an orgy" by neighbors who disliked their antics. She later filed a lawsuit against McGowan and Meteor Productions, alleging that McGowan and Winters had lived together for five years beginning in 1926 but that he had not lived up to his promise to marry her. During the suit, she disclosed that McGowan had paid her $60 a week to write scenarios he'd direct, and that he failed to pay her.
