7¾x9¾. 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). Creased at
corners. Water stained. Otherwise, fine condition.
