    Born in Berlin to American parents, the American stage actress Katharine Cornell (1893-1974) was dubbed
    "The First Lady of the Theater"
    by the critic Alexander Woolcott. Beyond the stage, she was also a writer, theater owner and producer. Raised in Buffalo, New York, she married the stage and film director Guthrie McClintic who often directed those serious Broadway dramas in which she starred. She is perhaps best known for her portrayal of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning in the 1931 production of
    "The Barretts of Wimpole Street"
    and was the first performer to receive the Drama League Award for her 1935 portrayal of Juliet in
    "Romeo and Juliet"
    and a Tony Award for her portrayal of Cleopatra in the 1947 production of
    "Antony and Cleopatra".
