...nearly unprecedented role of composer, lyricist and librettist for a Broadway show, Loesser adapted Sidney Howard's 1924 play They Knew What They Wanted, the story of a naive Italian-American grape grower who tricks a pretty waitress into marriage. The result, after five years' work, was The Most Happy Fella, a rich and deeply felt pastiche of popular and operatic vocabularies.

She is a more twisted sister of Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in Aliens (also written and directed by T2's James Cameron), who proves her maternal mettle by blasting...
...foods from Los Angeles to London. Once, a defector from the black network who was being interviewed in New York where he was in hiding turned to Beaty for a little spending money. "I gave him the last $100 out of my pocket," he says, "and he tipped the waitress...
