Louise Morley Cochrane

Writer and educational broadcaster; daughter of the American author Christopher Morley (1890–1957) and chronicler of his friendship with Buckminster Fuller.

Louise Morley Cochrane was a daughter of the American journalist, novelist, and essayist Christopher Morley, and she built her own career in writing and educational media. Having grown up within her father's wide literary and intellectual circle, she was well placed to record the personal relationships that ran through it, and she later turned to documenting one friendship in particular that connected her father's world to the emerging figure of Buckminster Fuller.

Relationship to Fuller

Relationship: chronicler. Cochrane's tie to R. Buckminster Fuller is documentary rather than personal collaboration: she authored The Sense of Significance: The Friendship Between Christopher Morley and Buckminster Fuller, a book preserving the bond between her father and Fuller. Christopher Morley and Fuller were friends, and Cochrane — with access to family papers, letters, and memory — set that friendship down in print, making her the principal chronicler of this corner of Fuller's early social and intellectual world.
