Biography
The writing team of Adolph Green (1915-2002) and Betty Comden (b. 1919) co-authored the books and lyrics to some of the most important works of musical theater and film. Working together, the pair was successful and versatile as lyricists, librettists, and screenwriters. As performers, Comden and Green first worked together in 1938 as part of the cabaret act, The Revuers, and would continue to appear together frequently in their own shows. Separately, each took on an occasional acting assignment in film and television.
