Sandra Stillwell Presents...: FFT Saturday Afternoon: "De Lovely”

Saturday's lunch program focused on Cole Porter, born in Peru, Indiana. Porter is known for writing the words and music for many musicals, including "Kiss Me, Kate," "Fifty Million Frenchmen", "DuBarry Was a Lady", "Anything Goes", "Can-Can" and "Silk Stockings". His numerous hit songs include "Night and Day", "Begin the Beguine", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and "You're the Top". He also wrote for the movies, including "High Society", which was a remake of the non-musical version "The Philadelphia Story".

The centerpieces, as well as most of the fashions, were named after Cole Porter tunes.
