If you had entered her name into the imbd.com search window and clicked [GO!], this would have been the result, slightly edited for formatting:

    Leigh Brackett

    Writer - filmography

    (1980s) (1970s) (1960s) (1950s) (1940s)

    1.Empire Strikes Back, The (1980)
     ... aka Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
     (1980) (USA: complete title)

    2.Long Goodbye, The (1973)

    3.Rio Lobo (1970)
     ... aka San Timoteo (1970)

    4.El Dorado (1967)

    5.Hatari! (1962)

    6.13 West Street (1962) (novel The Tiger Among Us)

    7.Gold of the Seven Saints (1961)

    8.Rio Bravo (1959)

    9.Big Sleep, The (1946)

    10.Crime Doctor's Man Hunt (1946)

    11.Vampire's Ghost, The (1945) (story)

If you had then clicked on The Big Sleep link, this is what you would have seen, edited for formatting:

    Big Sleep, The (1946)

    Directed by Howard Hawks
                                                    
    Writing credits
     Raymond Chandler (novel)
     William Faulkner

And directly below Faulkner's name, a prominent yellow button labeled [Show More]. If you clicked on that button, the rest of the credits would have appeared:

   Full Cast and Crew for Big Sleep, The (1946)

   Writing credits (in credits order) Raymond Chandler (novel)

   William Faulkner &
   Leigh Brackett &
   Jules Furthman
                                              And so on. Hope this helps.
