  • Trivia
    Was asked by executive producer Richard Rodgers to write an entirely new script for the 1965 production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's television musical "Cinderella". The production did not use any of Hammerstein's dialogue written for the 1957 version, but did retain the basic plot and all the songs except for one ("The Royal Dressing Room Scene").
