Harry Ruskin (November 30, 1894 – November 16, 1969) was an American screenwriter and lyricist. [1] 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. [2]
In a 2020 interview, former Golden-Age-of-Hollywood child actress Cora Sue Collins alleged, when she was 15 years-old, Ruskin, then 55 years-old, tried to force her to have sex with him in exchange for a good movie role.
