Albert Hague was a German-American composer born in Berlin in 1920 who emigrated to the United States and became known for his contributions to Broadway musicals and television. His most celebrated work, the 1955 musical Plain and Fancy, featured the song "Young and Foolish," which became a widely recorded jazz and pop standard performed by artists including Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Ella Fitzgerald. Hague also composed the score for Redhead in 1959 and collaborated with Dr. Seuss on the 1966 television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas. He died in Marina del Rey, California, in 2001.
