- Biography
- Richard Rodgers, composer and producer, was born in New York City on June 28, 1902. He composed his first song, "My Auto Show Girl," when he was fourteen years old. In 1918, Rodgers met his first professional partner, Lorenz Hart. Together, they presented their first hit show, THE GARRICK GAIETIES, in 1925. In 1929, Rodgers and Hart appeared in a two-reel autobiographical short, MASTERS OF MELODY, produced by Paramount-Famous-Lasky Corp. and written and directed by S. J. Kaufman. In 1948, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced a biographical film about the professional relationship and career of Rodgers and Hart.
- Rodgers teamed up with Oscar Hammerstein II in 1942 to produce OKLAHOMA! After the death of Lorenz Hart in 1943, Hammerstein became Rodgers's permanent collaborator. They worked together until Hammerstein's death in 1960. Following Hammerstein's death, Rodgers continued to produce musicals, including SOUTH PACIFIC, FLOWER DRUM SONG and CAROUSEL. In 1962 he wrote both the music and the lyrics for NO STRINGS, and in 1965 he teamed up with Stephen Sondheim on DO I HEAR A WALTZ? His last original musical was an adaptation of John Van Druten's play, I REMEMBER MAMA, which opened on Broadway on May 31, 1979.
- Richard Rodgers married Dorothy Feiner in 1930. He died in New York City on December 30, 1979.
