Sylvia Fine, nicknamed "Snappy," at Camp Tamiment, summer of 1938.
"Snappy"
In her early career, Fine often spent time not only writing music for revues but also playing piano in rehearsals and performances. She met Danny Kaye while working on Sunday Night Varieties, where she was a rehearsal pianist as well as a cowriter for the show. After realizing the talent she had at her hands, Fine convinced Max Liebman to hire Kaye at Camp Tamiment, a resort in the Catskill Mountains of New York where she had spent the previous summer composing and performing for the musical revues. |
