His credits include Kean (1961), Skyscraper (1965), 1776 (1969), Two By Two (1970), Sugar (1972), Woman of the Year (1981), The Will Rogers Follies (1991), and Titanic (1997). Stone was also a reliable play doctor, rewriting such musicals as My One and Only (1983) and Grand Hotel (1989) and penning the revised libretto for Annie Get Your Gun (1999).
