About the Artist
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. Betty Comden was born "Elizabeth Cohen" in New York City , attended Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, and studied drama at New York University. 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. Due to the act's success, the Revuers appeared in the 1944 film 'Greenwich Village, but their roles were so small they barely were noticed, and they quickly returned to New York. Comden and Green's first Broadway effort was On the Town, a musical romp about three sailors on leave.
