- Summary
- Broadway producer Alexander H. Cohen reviews his career from the 1940's to the present day, examining his relationships with other showmen, with his wife and sometime co-producer Hildy Parks, and with such performers as Marlene Dietrich. He discusses his work as producer of the first Tony Awards ceremonies to be televised. Mr. Cohen also reflects on his experience with the 1976-7 revival of Hellzapoppin featuring Jerry Lewis, which he closed rather than bring to New York, and on how the business of producing plays for Broadway has changed over time.
