Fields, Dorothy (1905–74), lyricist and librettist. Daughter of Lew
Fields and sister of Herbert
Fields and Joseph
Fields, she was born in Allenhurst, New Jersey, and became in her own right a major lyricist whose work was distinguished by a sophistication coupled with a down‐to‐earth humor that frequently gave refreshing slants to clichés. Fields's lyrics were heard in
Blackbirds of 1928, in which she put words to Jimmy
McHugh's “I Can't Give You Anything But Love” and “Diga Diga Doo”;
Hello, Daddy (1928);
International Revue (1930), teaming again with McHugh for “Exactly Like You” and “On the Sunny Side of the Street”;
Stars in Your Eyes (1939);
Up in Central Park (1945);
Arms and the Girl (1950);
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1951);
By the Beautiful Sea (1954);
Redhead (1959);
Sweet Charity (1966), collaborating with Cy
Coleman to write “Big Spender” and “If My Friends Could See Me Now”; and
Seesaw (1973). With her brother Herbert she also wrote the librettos for
Let's Face It! (1941),
Something for the Boys (1943),
Mexican Hayride (1944),
Up in Central Park (1945),
Annie Get Your Gun (1946),
By the Beautiful Sea (1954), and
Redhead (1959). Biography:
On the Sunny Side of the Street, Deborah Grace Winer, 1997.
