During her lifetime, Previn released six acclaimed albums of original songs, including ON MY WAY TO WHERE, MARY C. BROWN AND THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN, MYTHICAL KINGS AND IGUANAS and REFLECTIONS IN A MUD PUDDLE. She was the lyricist of several Oscar nominated songs, including “You’re Gonna Hear From Me” and “Come Saturday Morning”. After a successful period in Hollywood in the 1960s, collaborating with her then-husband Andre Previn on numerous popular songs for film - including “Faraway Part of Town” and “Theme from Valley of the Dolls,” Ms. Previn rose to prominence in the 1970s, writing and performing a remarkable collection of powerful, witty and haunting songs chronicling her own often harrowing autobiographical experiences, with extraordinary honesty, passion, humor and insight. Ms. Previn also wrote several works for the stage, including a musical version of her acclaimed album MARY C. BROWN AND THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN and several autobiographical works of nonfiction including BOG TROTTER and MIDNIGHT BABY. Ms. Previn passed away in 2012 at the age of 86. “Dory Previn’s lyrics are first-rate poems, which is a rarity. Dory Previn is a poet and that is rarer still.” MIK e NICHOLS “Dory Previn defines the word ‘extraordinary’. She has lived through more in this lifetime than many of us can hope to live in several. And she has put it all down on paper.” T HeODOre S. CHaPIN, intro to ‘THe DOry PreVIN SONGbOOK’ Photos courtesy of Joby Baker. “One of the most articulate, perceptive and sensitive of modern songwriters, she goes deep beneath the surfaces of the relationships between people… Dory Previn’s songs are unlike those of anyone in the music business.” -O Hr berT NaS , ‘reCOrD WOrLD’ Photos courtesy of Joby Baker. “She is an extraordinary songwriter, one distinguished by her intelligence and candor.

    J OHN F . A NDREWS OBE JOHN F. ANDREWS is an editor, educator, and cultural leader with wide experience as a writer, lecturer, consultant, and event producer. From 1974 to 1984 he enjoyed a decade as Director of Academic Programs at the FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY. In that capacity he redesigned and augmented the scope and appeal of SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY, supervised the Library’s book-publishing operation, and orchestrated a period of dynamic growth in the FOLGER INSTITUTE, a center for advanced studies in the Renaissance whose outreach he extended and whose consortium grew under his guidance from five co-sponsoring universities to twenty-two, with Duke, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn, Penn State, Princeton, Rutgers, Virginia, and Yale among the additions. During his time at the Folger, Mr. Andrews also raised more than four million dollars in grant funds and helped organize and promote the library’s multifaceted eight- city touring exhibition, SHAKESPEARE: THE GLOBE AND THE WORLD, which opened in San Francisco in October 1979 and proceeded to popular engagements in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington. Between 1979 and 1985 Mr. Andrews chaired America’s National Advisory Panel for THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS, the BBC/TIME-LIFE TELEVISION canon. He then became one of the creative principals for THE SHAKESPEARE HOUR, a fifteen-week, five-play PBS recasting of the original series, with brief documentary segments in each installment to illuminate key themes; these one-hour programs aired in the spring of 1986 with Walter Matthau as host and Morgan Bank and NEH as primary sponsors.
