Harry Ruskin (1894–1969) 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)".[2] In a 2020 interview, former Golden-Age-of-Hollywood child actress Cora Sue Collins alleged, when she was 16 years-old, Ruskin, 33 years her senior, tried to force her to have sex with him in exchange for a good movie role. She refused and told Louis B. Mayer about what had happened, who was nonchalant and dismissive about it.[3]
