Lerner, Alan Jay (Adaptation & Lyrics), Loewe, Frederick (Music). MY FAIR LADY. A Musical Play Based on Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. New York: Coward, McCann, (1956). First Edition, first printing (no mention of later printings) with photo frontispiece featuring Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison in the original Tony-Winning Broadway production. A FINE copy in a NEAR FINE original priced ($3.50) dust jacket (a bit of fading to the panels as usual, some edge wear and one tiny closed tear). INSCRIBED BY both JULIE ANDREWS and REX HARRISON to Broadway actor (and television voice-over legend) Lionel Wilson (1924-2003). Both inscriptions are boldly written in ink on the front free endpaper. MY FAIR LADY was later adapted into one of the greatest movie musicals of all time in 1964, winning the Oscar for Best Picture, directed by George Cukor and starring Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. It's hard to imagine a more desirable copy of this first edition. Seller Inventory # 003597
