Biography

American pianist, composer and lyricist. Aka Anita Nye aka Louis & Anita.
Born 1922 Anita Rothblum. Married to comic actor Louis Nye (1940-2005, his death).
Best known for co-writing the song "A Sunday Kind Of Love" with Barbara Belle--the song has charted five times in the U.S. Between 1947-1988.
In August of 1943, Anita and Belle Einhorn began to register unpublished song copyrights together. In 1945 they finally got some of them published by Tin Pan Alley firms. They then came up with their pen names--Anita Leonard and Barbara Belle. Leonard's other collaborations included Evelyn Caroll, Chocky Fair (Charles B. Fair), and Marshall Barer.
She was on the "It's Your Bet" TV game show and "It Takes Two" TV show in 1969 with her husband.
