Vivian L. Cosby (June 6, 1901 – August 11, 1963), also spelled as Vivian Crosby, was an American playwright and novelist who produced scripts for theater and films from the 1920s through the 1940s. A Bostonian, Cosby began appearing in theater and writing plays and musical pieces from a young age. Her works started being adapted for the stage in the 1920s while she joined RKO Radio as a script writer.
Her popular Broadway works, such as Trick for Trick, had multiple Hollywood film studios try to hire her, but she chose to stay in theater and radio production. She was burned in a fire on January 1, 1939, which resulted in her spending three and a half years hospitalized. Her literary output, however, continued during this period and she broadened her connections to celebrities and major organizations from her hospital room. Upon her recovery, she immediately published several new theater scripts and began production work.
