(1888PressRelease)
May 27, 2009 - PALM SPRINGS, CA - After the critical acclaim of "My Fair Lady" and a subsequent heart attack, Frederick Loewe permanently relocated to Palm Springs. There, he painstakingly created his own Camelot surrounded by olive, pine, cypress, palm trees and bougainvilleas duplicating Tuscany and his beloved South of France which is now for sale. He was so successful in achieving this that Greta Garbo, upon seeing it proclaimed it to be "the most beautiful garden in the world."
The terraced gardens set in three acres with forever views were an extension of his expansive home, which was designed by a Richard Neutra disciple. Its inside stretched seamlessly into the outside through walls of glass. Frederick Loewe continued to compose his extraordinary music there. One could almost hear his piano playing echo "on the street where he lived."
He continued to collaborate with Jay Alan Lerner in the hugely successful "Gigi" and "Camelot" and garnered more Oscars. After these, he re-created "The Little Prince" which was to star Frank Sinatra before their falling out.
Frederick Loewe's summers were spent in Santa Barbara where he moved his furniture from Palm Springs or on his yacht in Cannes but he always returned to his beloved "Camelot." Frederick Loewe passed away in 1988 as one of the world's most accomplished and respected musical composers. His legacy lives on not only in his musicals but also in his "Camelot" in Palm Springs.
