Betty Comden
Betty Comden (May 3, 1917 November 23, 2006) was one-half of the musical-comedy duo Comden and Green, who provided lyrics, libretti, and screenplays to some of the most beloved and successful Hollywood musicals and Broadway shows of the mid-20th century. Her writing partnership with Adolph Green lasted for six decades, during which time they collaborated with other leading entertainment figures such as the famed "Freed Unit" at MGM, Jule Styne and Leonard Bernstein, and wrote the musical comedy film ''Singin' in the Rain''.
==Early life==
Betty Comden was born Basya Cohen (not as is widely stated Elizabeth Cohen)〔("Corrections" ), ''The New York Times'', February 26, 2007.〕 in Brooklyn, New York,〔(Profile ) theatredb.com; accessed June 10, 2014.〕 attended Erasmus Hall High School, and studied drama at New York University.〔Berkvist, Robert. ("Betty Comden, Half of Lyrics Team Behind Musicals of Grace and Wit, Dies at 89" ), ''The New York Times'', November 24, 2006; accessed October 22, 2009. "She attended Erasmus Hall High School and studied drama at New York University, graduating in 1938."〕
In 1938, mutual friends introduced her to Adolph Green, an aspiring actor. Along with the young Judy Holliday and Leonard Bernstein, Comden and Green formed a troupe called the Revuers, which performed at the Village Vanguard, a club in Greenwich Village.〔("Betty Comden" ) jewishvirtuallibrary.org, accessed August 25, 2012.〕 Due to the act's success, the Revuers appeared in the 1944 film ''Greenwich Village'',〔 but their roles were so small they were barely noticed, and they quickly returned to New York.
Comden and Green's first Broadway show was in 1944, with ''On the Town'', a musical about three sailors on leave in New York City that was an expansion of a ballet entitled ''Fancy Free'' on which Bernstein had been working with choreographer Jerome Robbins. Comden and Green wrote the book and lyrics, which included sizable parts for themselves (as "Claire" and "Ozzie"). Their next musical, ''Billion Dollar Baby'' (1945; music by Morton Gould) was not a success, and their 1947 show ''Bonanza Bound'' closed out-of-town and never reached Broadway.〔〔("Betty Comden and Adolph Green" ) pbs.org, accessed August 25, 2012〕
