アレクサンダー・ウールコット

Alexander Humphreys Woollcott was an American drama critic for The New York Times and the New York Herald, critic and commentator for The New Yorker magazine, a member of the Algonquin Round Table, an occasional actor and playwright, and a prominent radio personality. Woollcott was the inspiration for two fictional characters. The first was Sheridan Whiteside, the caustic and malingering house-guest in the comedic play The Man Who Came to Dinner by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, later made into a film in 1942.
