Born in 1904 into a show business family--her father, Lou Fields, was a famed stage comedian turned Broadway producer--Fields first teamed with songwriter Jimmy McHugh in the late 1920s and went on to a series of Hollywood collaborations with Jerome Kern, including the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers classic \u003cem\u003eSwing Time\u003c\/em\u003e. With her brother Herbert, she co-authored the books for several of Cole Porter's shows and for Irving Berlin's classic \u003cem\u003eAnnie Get Your Gun\u003c\/em\u003e. Fields's lyrics--colloquial, urbane, sometimes slangy, sometimes sensuous--won her high praise from later generations of songwriters including Stephen\u003cbr\u003eSondheim, and her stellar career opened a path for other women in her profession, among them Betty Comden and Dory Previn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharlotte Greenspan\u003c\/strong\u003e is a musicologist and pianist who has written extensively on music and film.
