Harry Ruskin

Harry Ruskin (November 30, 1894 – November 16, 1969) was an American screenwriter and lyricist. He worked for a variety of Hollywood studios over the course of several decades. For MGM he co-wrote several entries in the Andy Hardy and Dr. Kildare series. He wrote the lyrics for the 1929 hit song "I May Be Wrong (but I Think You're Wonderful)", with music by Henry Sullivan, utilised in the musical revue Murray Andersons Almanac. In a 2020 interview, former Golden Age of Hollywood child actress Cora Sue Collins alleged that when she was 15 years old, Ruskin, then 48 years old, tried to force her to have sex with him in exchange for a good movie role. She refused and told studio boss Louis B. Mayer about what had happened, who was nonchalant and dismissive about it.
