Our Hearts Were Young and Gay

Our Hearts Were Young and Gay

Our Hearts Were Young and Gay is the title of a book by actress Cornelia Otis Skinner and journalist Emily Kimbrough, published in 1942. The book presents a description of their European tour in the 1920s, when they were fresh out of college from Bryn Mawr. Skinner wrote of Kimbrough, "To know Emily is to enhance one's days with gaiety, charm and occasional terror". The book was popular with readers, spending five weeks atop the New York Times Best Seller list in the winter of 1943.

The book was made into a motion picture in 1944, and was dramatized by Jean Kerr in 1946.
