Earl Wrightson
Earl Wrightson (January 1, 1916 – March 7, 1993) was an American singer and actor best known for musical theatre, concerts and television performances. His regular singing partner was the soprano Lois Hunt.
==Early life and career==
Wrightson was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of a Methodist minister. He studied voice at a local conservatory and then moved to New York City in the 1930s to study voice with baritone Robert Weede, who sang with the Metropolitan Opera. Wrightson's first job in New York was as a page for NBC. He married Alta Markey, and the pair had a daughter, Wendy, but Wrightson separated from his wife, although they never divorced.〔Collins, Glenn. ("Earl Wrightson, 77; Baritone Sang Leads In Touring Musicals", ) ''The New York Times'', March 9, 1993〕
Wrightson lent his deep baritone voice to the radio, singing regularly on such series as ''The Prudential Family Hour'' and ''The Coca-Cola Hour'', often for conductor Andre Kostelanetz. In 1944, he played Robert on Broadway in ''The New Moon''. The following year, he had his only starring role on Broadway in ''The Firebrand of Florence''.〔("Earl Wrightson" ) at the IBDB database〕 Unfortunately, the Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin musical was a flop, lasting only 43 performances. On tour and in summer theater, he also starred in ''Camelot'', ''Kiss Me, Kate'', ''Paint Your Wagon'', ''I Do! I Do!'', ''Man of La Mancha'', ''South Pacific'', ''Can-Can'', ''Silk Stockings'', ''Fiddler on the Roof'', ''Gigi'', ''A Little Night Music'', ''The Sound of Music'', among other shows.〔
By the late 1940s, Wrightson performed on television variety shows, including ''Girl About Town'' and hosted his own 15-minute variety show, ''Earl Wrightson at Home'' on CBS Television.〔("Earl Wrightson" ) at the Internet Accuracy Project, accessed July 28, 2009〕 Beginning in 1951, Wrightson's regular singing partner was opera soprano Lois Hunt, with whom he developed an intimate relationship. She had listened to his radio shows as a teenager and became a frequent performer on his television variety show. He won an Emmy Award as the host, for three years in the 1950s, of a CBS Sunday afternoon television show, ''The American Musical Theater''.〔 He also performed on other variety shows, such as ''Paul Whiteman's Goodyear Revue'', and he was heard on shows hosted by Robert Q. Lewis, Jack Paar, Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas and Johnny Carson.〔
