Frank Loesser: Bookwriter, Composer, Lyricist...Doodler?

By Kathryn Harris on January 27, 2010
Frank Loesser's brilliance as a bookwriter, composer, and lyricist is enjoyed across the world in shows such as GUYS & DOLLS and HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING.  But did you know that the man who uses such vivid imagery in his lyrics was also an avid doodler?  Loesser's doodling was so incessant - and his artwork itself so striking - that his daughter and biographer Susan Loesser calls him "a doodler extraordinaire."
