He was born in Annapolis, Maryland, and attended Dartmouth College. He went onto work as a part-time advertising agent (where he didn’t earn much money), until the creation of his Topper character brought him considerable success. Thorne Smith made his debut as a published author in 1918 with the novel Biltmore Oswald.
