Donald Hough

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald Hough is an American humorist and author of several books and film scripts. He was born in St. Paul Minnesota June 29, 1895 and died around 1965. He was the son of Mr. & Mrs. Sherwood Hough. His wife's name was Berry; they had one son named Sherwood. Hough seems to have divided his time among New York City; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; and Hollywood, in approximately that order. Among those he encountered, at least by reputation, in Jackson Hole was publishing heiress and philanthropist Cissy Patterson.
