My name is Dorothy parker my maiden name is Dorothy Rothschild. I was born on August 22 1893 in Long Beach, New Jersey. My parent’s names were Jacob Henry and Eliza Annie Rothschild. My mother was Scottish and my farther German Jewish. I lost both my parents at young ages; my mom died right before I turn five she died on July 20 1897 and my farther died December 28 1913. I had a stepmother but I dislike her, her name was Eleanor Frances Lewis she married my farther in 1900. three years after she married my farther she past away. I was the fourth born child of four. I lost my brother named Henry when the Titanic sank in 1912.

My first job was playing the piano at a dancing school in 1914, I work while I work on my verses. They also published my first poem named “Any Porch” in 1914 I was paid twelve dollars for my poem. I also sold some of my poems to the editor of vogue in 1916. In 1917 I started to work for Vanity Fair as a theater critic. I later created Algonquin Round Table also known as Vicious Circle; I was later fired for unfair reasons. When I was fired me associate Robert Benchley resigned. We became partners in a our own firm called Parker-Benchley. The most brilliant writers that were in the Algonquin round table were Robert Benchley, Robert E. Sherwood, James Thurber, George S. Kaufman, Edna Ferber, and Franklin P. Adams.

In addition starting to work in Vanity Fair in 1917 I married Edwin Pond Parker II, a stockbroker, who I later divorced that same year. Edwin was wounded in World War I, he was an alcoholic, and during the war he became addicted to morphine. He died in 1928. I also became an alcoholic besides being a alcoholic I was suicidal. I later married again to Alan Campbell I was with him from 1934 until 1947 then I divorced him. Yet it wasn’t long before we were remarried in 1950.
