  • Hart, Lorenz (1895-1943) Lorenz Hart (Standing, by Raymond-Jean Frontain Right) with Richard Rodgers in 1936
    Hart, Lorenz (1895-1943) Lorenz Hart (standing, by Raymond-Jean Frontain right) with Richard Rodgers in 1936. Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Division. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Barely five feet tall, balding early, and possessing a disproportionately large head, Larry Hart was the first to disparage his own attractiveness. His jokes, however, masked a deeply-rooted inability to accept the possibility of romantic happiness or sexual gratification. Hart impulsively proposed marriage to several women friends, none of whom thought his offer serious. And when he allowed himself to act upon his desire for other men, he seems to have had difficulty performing sexually. (Biographer Frederick Nolan quotes one unidentified male partner's shock at discovering Hart cowering in the bedroom closet after sex, suggesting that the songwriter was unable actively to pursue homosexual pleasure without being overcome by guilt.) The result of such emotional imbroglio is that, despite having written lyrics as witty as any sung on the Broadway stage before or since, Hart is best remembered for his songs of unfulfilled desire and failed romance. Born Lorenz Milton Hart on May 2, 1895, to an immigrant Jewish family, Hart learned from his entrepreneur father that self-assertion allows survival. Never without a business venture, many of which were dishonest, Hart's father provided Larry with a lasting model for the cycles of impulsive free-spending and resulting impecuniosity that characterized Hart's own life. Hart entertained both friends and strangers lavishly, often living far beyond his means, but with a (sometimes unfounded) optimism that something would turn up.

Perle Mesta was the first United States Ambassador to MADAM Luxembourg. The original “hostess with the mostest,” Mes- ta was known for hosting lavish parties in Washington D.C for almost 30 years. Born in Oklahoma, her family came into wealth when her father became involved in the oil and real-estate industries. In 1917 she married George Mesta, owner of Mesta Machinery. Mrs. Mesta became interested in politics when her husband introduced her to several high-ranking officials, including President Calvin Coolidge. Following her husband’s death, she became heavily involved in the quest for women’s rights and joined the National Women’s Party as its Congressional chairman and Public Relations specialist. While lobbying for the Equal Rights Amendment, she made a multitude of con- nections with politicians who would later attend her famous social gatherings. A Republican for most of her life, Mesta realigned herself with the Democratic party, opting to give financial support to then Senator Harry Truman.

ATW: I see Thornton’s chief legacy as his capacity to identify questions about life and living, then to write stories about them, stories that still speak to us today. If this sounds terribly simplistic, Thornton Wilder, well, there you are. At a very deep level, the entertainer and the fabulist meet in Wilder, and they still work for readers and audiences in many parts of the world. For this reason, I enjoy describ- So Far ing him as an old-fashioned storyteller. JPM: Since your uncle had such a complete life, do we stop there? Penelope Niven ATW: No, no.
