After becoming ill with crippling rheumatoid arthritis, which eventually claimed his sight (around 1930), Sheldon became a source of emotional and creative support for his many friends—luminaries of the literary and theatrical world,
including Alexander Woollcott , Anne Morrow Lindbergh , Ruth Gordon , Helen Hayes (his sister-in-law), and many others.

His life is detailed in ''The Man Who Lived Twice'' by Eric W. Barnes .
