Subject: Freaky Friday author Mary Rodgers dies at 83
Written By: Philip Eno on 06/27/14 at 9:08 am
Mary Rodgers, author of the best-selling children's book Freaky Friday, has died at the age of 83.
Rodgers died on Thursday at her home in Manhattan after a long illness, said her son Alec Guettel.
The daughter of legendary Broadway composer Richard Rodgers, Mary had her own musical hit with Once Upon a Mattress.
But she was best known for Freaky Friday, the comedic story in which a mother and daughter trade bodies.
The book, published in 1976, has twice been made into a Disney movie, most recently in 2003 with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in the starring roles.
The first screen adaptation was in 1976, with the script having been written by Rodgers too, and starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster.
Rodgers went on to write three sequels. The first was A Billion for Boris followed by Summer Switch and Freaky Monday, co-authored with Heather Hach.

I didn't know Freaky Friday was based on a book.
she wrote a trilogy....
A Billion for Boris is about a TV that shows tomorrows shows (including the news) today.....it features all the Freaky Friday characters.
Summer Switch is similar plot line to Freaky Friday where the dad and son of the same Freaky Friday family switch bodies when the young son is off to summer camp.
