Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Photographs and drawings (illustrator). 1st Edition. Whimsically funny, gentle, and generous to a fault, Howard Lindsay and Russel Grouse laid to rest forever the claim that nice guys finish last. They were the most successful team of playwrights in the history of the American stage. And in this double portrait their story is told by a gifted writer who is also one of the great ladies of the theatre. From their first collaboration on Anything Goes! in the mid 1930's, the names of Lindsay and Grouse were synonymous with great hits: Arsenic and Old Lace, State of the Union, Call Me Madam, The Sound of Music and, of course, Life with Father - the longest running play in the annals of Broadway. Cornelia Otis Skinner's biography offers glimpses of such famous figures as living Berlin, Alexander Woollcott, Eugene O'NeilI, Frank Sullivan, the Lunts, the Round Table Group, Ethel Merman, and Bob Hope. Around them bubble marvelous anecdotes of Broadway and the boondocks, by turns tart, endearing and hilarious. As Brooks Atkinson observes in his foreword, Howard Lindsay and Russel Grouse 'loved the vitality and variety of theatre people and the excitement and insanity of the theatre's business methods. Miss Skinner also reminds us that in and out of the theatre they were thoroughbreds.'CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER, actress, writer and monologist, was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of the famous actor, Otis Skinner. She attended the Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, spent a year and a half at Bryn Mawr College, and then went to Paris to study for the stage and take courses at the Sorbonne. Miss Skinner made her debut with her father in Blood and Sand. She has had starring roles in Candida, Theatre, The Searching Wind, Lady Windermere's Fan, Major Barbara, and The Pleasure of His Company, among others. In the theatre, she is perhaps best known for her monologues and solo dramas, the latter including The Wives of Henry VIII, The Loves of Charles II, The Empress Eugenie, Mansion on the Hudson and her one-woman musical review, Paris '90, all of which she wrote herself. Her books include Our Hearts Were Young and Gay in collaboration with Emily Kimbrough, Family Circle, Nuts in May, The Ape in Me, Elegant Wits and Grand Horizontals, and Madame Sarah which held the number 1 slot on the New York Times Bestseller List for many weeks. Quarter square inch tape residue on inside front of dust jacket. Book. Seller Inventory # 000744
