Steve Lawrence, the charismatic Grammy- and Emmy-winning singer & actor, died Thursday (March 7). He was 88.
“I grew up in a time period when music was written by Irving Berlin and Cole Porter and George and Ira Gershwin and Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart and Sammy Cahn and Julie Stein. Lawrence also played a pal of Steve Martin ‘s greeting card writer in The Lonely Guy(1984); was Morty Fine, the father of Fran Drescher ‘s character on CBS’ The Nanny; and guest-starred on other series including Night Gallery, Sanford and Son, Murder, She Wrote, Frasier, Hot in Cleveland and Two and a Half Men. “They are both confident, full-throated singers who show the kind of assured stage presence that can come from years of playing to Las Vegas audiences,” John S. Wilson wrote in his review for The New York Times.
