The first comprehensive collection of the letters of one of the
most successful American songwriters of the twentieth century From
Anything Goes to Kiss Me, Kate, Cole Porter left a lasting legacy
of iconic songs including "You're the Top," "Love For Sale," and
"Night and Day." Yet, alongside his professional success, Porter
led an eclectic personal life which featured exuberant parties,
scandalous affairs, and chronic health problems. This extensive
collection of letters (most of which are published here for the
first time) dates from the first decade of the twentieth century to
the early 1960s and features correspondence with stars such as
Irving Berlin, Ethel Merman, and Orson Welles, as well as his
friends and lovers. Cliff Eisen and Dominic McHugh complement these
letters with lively commentaries that draw together the loose
threads of Porter's life and highlight the distinctions between
Porter's public and private existence. This book reveals surprising
insights into his attitudes toward Hollywood and Broadway, and
toward money, love, and dazzling success.
