Woolley was born in the New York City borough of [[Manhattan]] to William Edgar (1845–1927) and Jessie Woolley (1857–1927), née Arms, and grew up in the highest social circles.

==Acting career==

Woolley began directing on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] in 1929 with ''[[Fifty Million Frenchmen]]'',<ref>{{cite book |title=Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre |first=Stanley |last=Green |author-link=Stanley Green (historian)|page=323 |publisher=[[Da Capo Press]] <!-- perseus group --> |year=1976 |isbn=9780786746842 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZWIRAljCR7oC&pg=PA323}}</ref> and began acting there in 1936 after leaving his academic career. In 1939 he starred in the [[George S. Kaufman|Kaufman]] and [[Moss Hart|Hart]] comedy ''[[The Man Who Came to Dinner]]'' for 783 performances. It was for this well-reviewed role he was typecast as the wasp-tongued, supercilious sophisticate.<ref name="St. Pete"/><ref name="Crowther"/>

Woolley signed with [[20th Century Fox]] in the 1940s and appeared in many films through the mid-1950s. His most famous film role, a reprise of his Broadway role, was in 1941's ''The Man Who Came To Dinner'' in which he plays a cranky radio wag restricted to a wheelchair because of a seemingly injured hip, a caricature of the legendary pundit [[Alexander Woollcott]]. The film received a good review from ''[[The New York Times]]''.<ref name="Crowther">Crowther, Bosley (January 2, 1942) [https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?_r=1&res=9B04E0D91E31E53BBC4A53DFB7668389659EDE "''The Man Who Came to Dinner''"].

In the comedy ''[[As Young as You Feel]]'' (1951), he played a printer who, fired routinely from his job at the age of 65, poses as an executive to get his job back.

He was also a frequent radio guest performer, first appearing in the medium as a foil to [[Al Jolson]].<ref>{{cite book |title=On the Air: the Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio |last=Dunning |first=John |author-link=John Dunning (radio historian) |year=1998 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0-19-507678-8 |page=[https://archive.org/details/onairencyclop00dunn/page/423 423] |url=https://archive.org/details/onairencyclop00dunn |url-access=registration }}</ref> Woolley became a familiar guest on such shows as ''[[The Fred Allen Show]]'', ''[[Duffy's Tavern]]'', ''[[The Big Show (radio show)|The Big Show]]'', ''[[The Chase and Sanborn Hour]]'' with [[Edgar Bergen]] and Charlie McCarthy, and others. In 1950, Woolley landed the starring  role in the [[NBC]] series ''The Magnificent Montague''. He played a former Shakespearean actor whose long fall onto hard times forced him to swallow his pride and take a role on daily network radio, becoming an unlikely star while sparring with his wife, Lily ([[Anne Seymour (actress)|Anne Seymour]]), and his wise-cracking maid, Agnes ([[Pert Kelton]]). The show lasted from November 1950 through September 1951.<ref>Everitt, David (2000).

Woolley and [[Cole Porter]] enjoyed many adventures together in New York and on foreign travels, although Porter reportedly disapproved of Woolley taking a black man as his lover.<ref name=colebio>{{cite book

Starting in 1939, Woolley was living with a gay companion, Cary Abbott, who had also graduated from Yale in 1911. Abbott was discreetly identified publicly as Woolley's "courier-secretary-traveling companion." In 1942, Woolley and Abbott moved into a house in [[Saratoga Springs]], where they lived together until Abbott's death, at age 58, from lung cancer, in 1948.<ref>{{cite book

According to [[Bennett Cerf]] in his 1944 book ''[[Try and Stop Me (book)|Try and Stop Me]],'' Woolley was at a dinner party and suddenly [[belch]]ed. A woman sitting nearby glared at him; he glared back and said, "And what did you expect, my good woman?  Chimes?" Cerf wrote, "Woolley was so pleased with this line that he insisted it be written into his next role in Hollywood."<ref name="Cerf"/><ref>Cerf, [https://archive.org/details/trystopmecollect00cerf <!-- quote=my good woman. --> p. 57].
