Alexander Woollcott

Alexander Woollcott (January 19, 1887 - January 23, 1942) was a critic and commentator, and a member of the Algonquin Round Table. He was the inspiration for the main character in the play The Man Who Came to Dinner by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. His review of the Marx Brothers' Broadway debut ultimately helped launch the team's movie career.

Woollcott was instrumental in normalizing U.S-Soviet relations. He died while participating in a 1942 radio program on the war in Europe.
