- Dancer, actress, and journalist, Dorothy N. S. (Nina Sheridan) Russell was born March 23, 1924 in Paris, France, to American parents. Russell, who wrote successively under the names Nina Sheridan, Dorothy N. S. Russell, and Nina Russell began her journalism career as an assistant entertainment editor. From 1941-1943 she covered musical events for British weeklies and served as a radio scriptwriter and interviewer (U.S. Army) from 1943-1945.
