Broadway lyricist Betty Comden dies
Betty Comden, whose more than 60-year collaboration with Adolph Green produced the classic New York stage musical "On the Town," as well as "Singin' in the Rain," has died.
Betty Comden had been ill for a few months and died Thursday of heart failure at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia, said her longtime attorney and executor Ronald Konecky.
"She was, in all respects, a very beautiful and legendary person," Ronald Konecky said. "She was a dynamic figure in the arts, theater and film."
Betty Comden and Adolph Green won five Tony Awards, with three of their shows — "Wonderful Town," "Hallelujah, Baby!" and "Applause" — winning the top prize for best musical. The duo received the Kennedy Center honors in 1991.
The two were never married to each other, although many thought they were, considering the longevity of their working relationship.
