CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER
Note in brown ink on a ruled index card
Autograph note signed: "For Bruce Weiss/with all best wishes/Cornelia Otis
Skinner", 5x3 ruled index card. The 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). Ink note on verso shows through very faintly at upper
left. Otherwise, fine condition.
