Half Hours with Rosalind Russell
My Sister Eileen
by
Half Hours with Rosalind Russell is a radio program featuring actress Rosalind Russell. The title identifies this broadcast with My Sister Eileen, the comedy about sisters Ruth and Eileen Sherwood as they make their way in New York City.
Russell’s association with the story brings a lively, theatrical quality to this presentation. The Sherwood sisters’ contrasting personalities—Ruth’s ambitions as a writer and Eileen’s warmth and charm—give the comedy its central spark, while their adventures in the city provide a setting for affectionate humor and romantic complications.
This is a dramatic radio performance rather than a narrated reading, inviting listeners to enjoy the characters and dialogue through sound. Its appeal lies in the blend of sisterly affection, city-life comedy, and Rosalind Russell’s connection to a role closely associated with her.
