Biography

American mystery writer Richard Lockridge was born in St. Joseph, MO, in 1898. He attended the University of Missouri, but his studies were interrupted by a one-year stint in the US Navy in 1918. In 1921 he got a job as a reporter for the Kansas City (MO) "Kansan" newspaper, then a year later went over to the "Kansas City Star". After a few months there he traveled to New York and was hired as a reporter for the "Sun", and eventually became its drama critic.

He is best known for his mystery series "Mr. and Mrs. North", which first appeared as a story in "The New Yorker" magazine (he wrote the first one by himself; subsequent "Mr. and Mrs. North" stories were written in collaboration with his wife, Frances Lockridge). The stories, light-hearted mysteries involving a married couple in the vein of "The Thin Man" series, were quite successful and were made into a play in 1941, a film in 1942 (Mr. and Mrs. North (1942)) and a TV series in 1952 ("Mr. and Mrs. North" (1952)).

He died of a stroke in Tryon, NC, in 1982
