Armine von Tempski

Armine von Tempski (ili Armine von Tempsky; Maui, 1892 - Fresno, 2. decembar 1943) bila je američka spisateljica. Rodila se i odrasla na havajskom otoku Maui kao unuka njemačkog pustolova i istraživača Gustavusa von Tempskog. Na pisanje ju je susret sa slavnim književnikom Jackom Londonom koji je 1907. posjetio Havaje. Njeni romani su uglavnom bili autobiografskog karaktera i pružali detaljan opis života na Havajima. Prvi od njih je bila Hula iz 1927. koja je iste godine adaptirana u popularni istoimeni film sa Clarom Bow u glavnoj ulozi. Godine 1932. se u Kaliforniji udala za trgovca nekretninama Alfreda Lathropa Balla, a tamo je i umrla.
