Dory Previn, R. I. P.

NYTimes.com: Dory Previn, the lyricist for three Oscar-nominated songs who as a composer and performer mined her difficult childhood, bouts of mental illness and a very public divorce to create a potent and influential personal songbook, died on Tuesday at her home in Southfield, Mass. She was 86.

Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.

Had not realized she was quite that old (86). Loved the song from "Valley of the Dolls." R.I.P. Dory.
