Since the 1940 production went unrecorded, a studio cast was assembled in 1950 to record the musical. In addition to Segal, the group also featured Harold Lang, Barbara Ashley, Beverly Fite, Kenneth Remo and Jo Hurt. In 2003, this recording was reissued by Columbia Broadway Masterworks in a release featuring such Rodgers and Hart tunes as ?I Could Write a Book,? ?Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,? ?Zip? and ?Take Him,? as well as two bonus tracks: Lang singing ?I Could Write a Book? (from the CBS TV show Shower of Stars) and Segal (interviewed by Mike Wallace on the CBS radio show Stage Struck) recalled Hart?s promise to write her a show and then sings ?Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.? She was also a performer on the CBS radio programAccordiana in 1934.
Segal's first marriage to actor Robert Downing Ames ended in divorce, and she then married television executive Hubbell Robinson. She died in Beverly Hills in 1992 and was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.
