Many of his works were produced on Broadway including Jealousy (1928) which starred John Halliday and Fay Bainter; and Affairs of State (1950) which starred Celeste Holm and Harry Bannister. Affairs of State ran for 610 performances at the Music Box Theatre and was the first work Verneuil wrote in English. His screenwriting credits include Avec Le Sourire (With a Smile) (1936) which starred Maurice Chevalier, and Cosas de Mujer (Feminine Wiles) (1951). The Bette Davis film Deception (1946) was based on his play. Verneuil was once married to Lysiane Bernhardt, the granddaughter of Sarah Bernhardt. Verneuil committed suicide at the age of 59 by slashing his throat. Police found his body in a bathtub. Verneuil is buried in the PÃ re Lachaise Cemetery.
