Autograph sentiment signed: "Best wishes/Cornelia Otis
Skinner" in blue ink, 5x3 index card. The daughter of distinguished actor
Cornelius Skinner, Cornelia Otis Skinner (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). Slightly
frayed at left edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
