"Loesser, who was born June 29, 1910, in New York and died in 1969, will be feted by TCM on his birthday with a marathon of films that kicks off with 1967's How to Succeed with original Broadway star Robert Morse (8 p.m. ET).
Other movies airing include 1949's Neptune's Daughter with Esther Williams (and the witty tune Baby, It's Cold Outside ) at midnight ET and Red, Hot and Blue from 1949, starring Betty Hutton and with Loesser showing his hammy side as tough guy Hair-do Lempke (1:45 a.m. June 30).
Heart & Soul: The Life and Music of Frank Loesser, a 2006 documentary airing 10:15 p.m. June 29, details his life and career, with memories from fellow songwriters and family, including daughter Susan, author of the Frank Loesser biography A Most Remarkable Fella."
