Biography
Albert Hague was a German-born American songwriter, composer, and actor. Born in Berlin, Germany, he fled Nazi persecution with his mother, first reaching Rome before emigrating to the United States in 1939 on a music scholarship to the University of Cincinnati. Because of immigration complications, he was formally adopted by an eye surgeon associated with the university. After graduating in 1942, he served in the United States Army during World War II in a special services band. Hague went on to establish a career as a Broadway composer, contributing to musicals including Plain and Fancy (1955), which featured the song âYoung and Foolish,â Redhead (1959), Cafe Crown (1964), and The Fig Leaves Are Falling (1969). He also composed the music for the television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966). Hague died on November 12, 2001, in Marina del Rey, California.
