A 1974 film version starred Lucille Ball and Bea Arthur. Little Me was turned into a musical in 1962, with book by Neil Simon and score by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh, and Sid Caesar playing all the male roles. Bob Fosse won the Tony Award for Best Choreography. There have been several revivals of Little Me, most recently in 1998 with Martin Short, who won a Tony Award for Best Actor. Two of Dennis's novels were transformed into television sitcoms: House Party (1954), about a supposedly wealthy family who were actually dead broke, was the inspiration for The Pruitts of Southampton (1966–67), starring Phyllis Diller, Grady Sutton, Gypsy Rose Lee, and Richard Deacon. Dennis's book Guestward Ho! (1956) became the sitcom Guestward Ho! (1960–61), about city folk trying to run a dude ranch in New Mexico. The latter sitcom starred Mark Miller, J. Carrol Naish, and Joanne Dru. References Further reading Jordan, R.T. (2004 ed.).
