 | | Fields' professional longevity, rare for a songwriter in the popular field, may be attributed to her undimming imagination and her willingness to adapt to changing trends in the musical theater. |  | | In 1946, Fields approached Oscar Hammerstein with her idea for a musical based on the life of sharpshooter Annie Oakley. |  | | Fields later referred to herself as "Mills Music's fifty-dollars-a-night girl," because she was paid 50 dollars for each lyric she composed. |

 | | Fields also began writing books for musicals as well as lyrics, in collaboration with her brother Herbert Fields. |  | | In 1935, for the film version of Roberta, she and McHugh wrote a new lyric for a song Kern had composed with Oscar Hammerstein II a year earlier. |  | | In 1954 she co-authored the book (with Herbert Fields) and wrote the lyrics for another Schwartz musical, By the Beautiful Sea. |

 | | Dorothy Fields also wrote film songs with Oscar Levant (Don't Mention Love To Me, Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind), Max Steiner (I Can't Waltz Alone), and provided new lyrics to Fritz Kreisler's music in THE KING STEPS OUT. |  | | In 1945, the Fields partnership again served as librettists, and Dorothy wrote the lyrics, to Sigmund Romberg's music, for the smash-hit, UP IN CENTRAL PARK. |  | | Her lyrics for this musical adaptation of William Gibson's play, TWO FOR THE SEESAW, are regarded as somewhat tougher than much of her previous work, although they continued to have the colloquial edge and the contemporary, witty, ‘street-wise’ quality that had become her trademark. |
