Autorenporträt
Alexander Woollcott (1887-1943) was a radio personality, playwright, actor, drama critic and columnist for The New Yorker, and member of the Algonquin Round Table. Raised in Missouri, he became a fixture of New York society, maintaining friendships with prominent cultural figures from Dorothy Parker to Harpo Marx. Famous in his time for his wit and his distinctive appearance, he was the inspiration for multiple fictional characters, including the flamboyant drama critic Sheridan Whiteside in The Man Who Came to Dinner. Edwina Dumm (1893-1990), who went simply by 'Edwina', was the first woman in the United States to make a living as a full-time cartoonist. Beginning her career on a newspaper in her native Ohio, she later moved to New York. A political cartoonist before she had the right to vote, she also drew comic strips and illustrated books and magazines.
