The Freaky Friday author died June 27 at 83 after a long illness. Rodgers also wrote the 1959 Broadway hit Once Upon a Mattress, a musical based on The Princess and the Pea. The original production made a star out of Carol Burnett, and Sarah Jessica Parker went on to star in the 1996 revival. Rodgers' other shows include From A to Z, Hot Spot and The Madwoman of Central Park West.
