Johnson. Well, her or Pope Pius XII. :-)

Giles, and I hope that's a surname because it's all I have.

"The Trouble with Harry". "One of his first"? He only made two
true comedies after the silent era, and this was the second one.
His other movies only have occasional comic elements.
 
(The first was "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", made about 1941, about a
couple who discover that their marriage wasn't legal. Definitely
not to be confused with the Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie movie of
the same title!)
