FANNY BRICE (1891–1951) was a trailblazer in the entertainment world. She was born to Jewish immigrants and became a star, building a career in vaudeville, theatre, film, and radio. Ms. Brice made her stage debut at Frank Keeney’s Theater in Brooklyn in 1906, and it became clear that she was destined to become a showbiz legend. In 1910 she was contracted by Florenz Ziegfeld for his 1910 Follies , and she became Broadway’s highest-earning star. She performed in 11 Ziegfeld productions and headlined the 1921, 1934, and 1936 Follies , where she performed her most famous character, Baby Snooks. Ms. Brice would continue to perform Baby Snooks for a weekly radio program until the end of her life. In 1918, Ms. Brice married Nick Arnstein and the couple had two children together. She married songwriter and stage producer Billy Rose in 1929; they divorced in 1938. A beloved barrier-breaking comedienne and performer, Ms. Brice was honored with two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ms. Brice’s career was instrumental to the future of women in comedy. Her life story and rise to stardom inspired the musical Funny Girl .
ISOBEL LENNART ( Book ) (1915–1971) was born in Brooklyn. Afflicted by polio as a child, Isobel became an avid reader, especially of movie magazines. She became a screenwriter for MGM ( Love Me or Leave Me, Inn of the Sixth Happiness, The Sundowners, Two for the Seesaw ). She married actor-playwright John Harding and had two children, Joshua and Sarah. Some 24 films, three Academy Award nominations, and on Writers Guild Laurel Award for Lifetime Achievement later, she turned to playwriting with Funny Girl in 1964. A Tony Award nomination for Best Musical followed, and she wrote her last screenplay for the film adaptation in 1958. Ms. Lennart died in a car accident in 1971. Funny Girl was deemed “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant” by the Library of Congress (2016).

MARGARET STYNE ( Special Material ). Margaret Ann Bissett Brown began her career as a model and actress. She was married to composer Jule Styne, and together they composed “What Do Happy People Do?” Upon Margaret’s death, Funny Girl producers announced, “Margaret was a brilliant storyteller who represented her husband Jule Styne’s genius legacy with creativity and imagination… Her Spirit will be imbued in our Broadway production of Funny Girl .”
BOB MERRILL ( Lyrics ). Broadway composer- lyricist and screenwriter. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Bob could not read or write a note of music, but would plunk out his melodies on a toy xylophone. Nonetheless, he became one of the most prolific songwriters of the 1950s with such hits as “How Much Is That Doggie in the Window” and “Mambo Italiano.” In the late 1950s, Bob composed music and lyrics of New Girl in Town, Take Me Along, Carnival, and Henry, Sweet Henry. Later he formed an enduring partnership with composer Jule Styne, leading to his greatest artistic success, Funny Girl (1964), starring Barbra Streisand, which included the hit songs “People” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”
