Here's a quote from "'Somewhere
For Me: A Biography of Richard Rodgers' by Meryle Secrest ":
It was a new beginning for Rodgers and, at some psychological level, an end.
"You know what you ought to do next?" Sam Goldwyn suggested. "Shoot yourself!"
Even though he duplicated his success many times over -- "Carousel," "State
Fair," "South Pacific," "The King and I," the viscous and eternal "Sound
of Music" -- the fear of failure grew more crippling with each show. "I get
a very peculiar feeling," his daughter Mary said, "that gradually over the
years he changed from someone who had a wonderful time to somebody who had
a terrible time." He made it tough on other people, too, drinking freely,
browbeating his collaborators, mortifying his wife with tawdry affairs. Stephen
Sondheim once quipped that Hammerstein was a man of limited talent and infinite
soul and that Rodgers was the reverse, and on the evidence this is hard to
dispute.
