- Began her career in 1938 while a secretary to Howard Koch. After she joined the Communist Party, her husband lost his job at Lockheed. She was blacklisted in 1953 after two screenwriters gave her name to the House Un-American Activities Committee.
- Continued to write using her married name, Anne Taylor. She wrote four plays, including "Storm in the Sun." She co-wrote, with Fern Mosk, a comic novel, "Press on Regardless," which was published by Simon and Schuster in 1956.
- Her career was cut short when she was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. Froelick's involvement in left-wing causes; fighting against fascism, promoting unions, desegregation, led her to join the Communist Party. In 1951, her party membership caused her husband to lose his job at Lockheed. On the last day of the House Un-American Activities Committee's last visit to Hollywood in 1953, two fellow screenwriters named Froelick as a Communist.
