Signature: "Cornelia Otis Skinner/Jan.16th 1964/Portland-Ore.", 7¾x6¼

daughter of distinguished actor Cornelius Skinner, Cornelia (1901-1979) was a
gifted stage and screen character actress and writer. She began her career
with her father on Broadway in 1921's Blood and Sand and appeared in five
more shows until embarking in 1926 on a three-year U.S. tour of a one-woman show
she produced. In addition to writing satirical and witty verse, Cornelia was
the author of eight plays, including The Pleasure of His Company
(1958, with Samuel Taylor). She also wrote essays, but is perhaps best
known for Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, a description of a European
vacation she took with Emily Kimbrough. Both works were made into feature films
(Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, 1944; The Pleasure of His Company,
1961) in which Cornelia appeared. Her film credits also include Kismet
(1930), Stage Door Canteen (1943), The Girl in the Red Velvet
Swing (1955) and The Swimmer (1968). Irregular left edge from being
removed from book. Ink note (unknown hand) at lower right corner. Otherwise,
