Preface Provides Broad, Single-Source Coverage in the Entertainment Field Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television (CTFT) is a biographical reference series designed to provide students, educators, researchers, librarians, and general readers with information on a wide range of entertainment figures. Unlike single-volume reference works that focus on a limited number of artists or on a specific segment of the entertainment field, CTFT is an ongoing publication that includes entries on individuals active in the theatre, film, and television industries. Before the publication of CTFT, information-seekers had no choice but to consult several different sources in order to locate the in-depth biographical and credit data that makes CTFT’s one-stop coverage the most comprehensive available about the lives and work of performing arts professionals.
Scope CTFT covers not only performers, directors, writers, and producers, but also behind-the-scenes specialists such as designers, managers, choreographers, technicians, composers, executives, dancers, and critics from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and the world. With 241 entries in CTFT 110, the series now provides biographies on approximately 28,630 people involved in all aspects of theatre, film, and television. CTFT gives primary emphasis to people who are currently active. New entries are prepared on major stars as well as those who are just beginning to win acclaim for their work. CTFT also includes entries on personalities who have died but whose work commands lasting interest.
Compilation Methods CTFT editors identify candidates for inclusion in the series by consulting biographical dictionaries, industry directories, entertainment annuals, trade and general interest periodicals, newspapers, and online databases. Additionally, the editors of CTFT maintain regular contact with industry advisors and professionals who routinely suggest new candidates for inclusion in the series. Entries are compiled from published biographical sources which are believed to be reliable, but have not been verified for this edition by the listee or their agents.
Revised Entries To ensure CTFT’s timeliness and comprehensiveness, entries from previous volumes, as well as from Gale’s Who’s Who in the Theatre, are updated for individuals who have been active enough to require revision of their earlier biographies. Such individuals will merit revised entries as often as there is substantial new information to provide. Obituary notices for deceased entertainment personalities already listed in CTFT are also published.
Accessible Format Makes Data Easy to Locate CTFT entries, modeled after those in Gale’s highly regarded Contemporary Authors series, are written in a clear, readable style designed to help users focus quickly on specific facts. The following is a summary of the information found in CTFT sketches: •
ENTRY HEADING: the form of the name by which the listee is best known.
•
PERSONAL: full or original name; dates and places of birth and death; family data; colleges attended, degrees earned, and professional training; political and religious affiliations when known; avocational interests.
•
ADDRESSES: home, office, agent, publicist and/or manager addresses. vii (c) 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

WRITINGS: title-by-title listing of plays, screenplays, scripts, and musical compositions along with production information; books, including autobiographies, and other publications.
•
ADAPTATIONS: a list of films, plays, and other media which have been adapted from the listee’s work.
•
OTHER SOURCES: books, periodicals, and internet sites where interviews or feature stories can be found.
Access Thousands of Entries Using CTFT’s Cumulative Index Each volume of CTFT contains a cumulative index to the entire series. As an added feature, this index also includes references to all seventeen editions of Who’s Who in the Theatre and to the four-volume compilation Who Was Who in the Theatre.

E–F PERIODICALS EDWARDS, Blake 1922–2010 (William Crump)
Guardian, December 16, 2010. London Telegraph, December 16, 2010. Los Angeles Times, December 16, 2010. New York Times, December 16, 2010.
PERSONAL Full name, William Blake Crump; born July 26, 1922, in Tulsa, OK; died of complications from pneumonia, December 15, 2010, in Santa Monica, CA. Writer and director. Considered a master of the screwball comedy, Edwards is best remembered as the creator and director of the popular Pink Panther films, starring Peter Sellers. Edwards entered show business as an actor in the early 1940s, when he signed a contract with Twentieth Century-Fox. He appeared in numerous films between 1942 and 1948, often playing soldiers or pilots. He earned his first writing credits in 1948 with the lowbudget Western film Panhandle, and in 1954 he began writing scripts for The Mickey Rooney Show. Soon after, Edwards was hired to direct films for Columbia Pictures and Universal Studios, including the 1955 Frankie Laine musical Bring Your Smile Along and the Tony Curtis films Mister Cory, The Perfect Furlough, and Operation Petticoat. In the 1960s Edwards directed a number of now-classic films, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Days of Wine and Roses, and The Pink Panther. Although he was less commercially successful in the 1970s—in part because of overly controlling studio executives—his darkly comic films 10, S.O.B., and Victor/Victoria are considered among Edwards’s strongest efforts. His only popular film of the 1980s was the comedy That’s Life, featuring Julie Andrews (his wife) and Jack Lemmon. In 1995 Edwards adapted Victor/Victoria for the Broadway stage. The production ran for more than two years and earned Andrews, who reprised her leading role from the film version, both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award in 1996. Edwards received a Laurel Award for screenwriting achievement from the Writers Guild of America in 2002 and an Honorary Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2004.

GAMMON, James 1940–2010 PERSONAL Full name, James Richard Gammon; born April 20, 1940, in Newman, IL; died of adrenal gland and liver cancer, July 16, 2010, in Costa Mesa, CA. Actor. Character actor Gammon’s signature gravelly voice, hard features, and bushy mustache made him a favorite of directors looking to cast blue-collar or cowboy roles. Best remembered as the frustrated manager of the Cleveland Indians in the 1989 comedy Major League, he also had long and productive stage and television careers. Gammon started out in local television in the Orlando, Florida, area as a cameraman and later a producer. He moved to Hollywood in the early 1960s and was cast in an episode of the television series The Wild Wild West in 1966. Appearances in the Western series Bonanza, The Road West, The Virginian, Death Valley Days, and Lancer followed throughout the late 1960s. In 1967 Gammon had a small part in the film Cool Hand Luke, and he continued to play cowboys, police officers, sports coaches, and father figures in both television and film during the 1970s and 1980s, including a recurring role in The Waltons. After the success of Major League, Gammon starred in several episodes of the television series Bagdad Cafe and Homefront before landing his last major role in 1996, playing Nick Bridges in the crime drama Nash Bridges. Notably active in the theatre as both an actor and a director, he cofounded the MET Theatre in Los Angeles in the 1970s and was a major influence on playwright Sam Shepard in the 1980s and 1990s. Gammon earned an Antoinette Perry Award nomination for his performance as Dodge in Shepard’s drama Buried Child in 1996.

KERSHNER, Irvin 1923–2010 (Isadore Kershner) PERSONAL Original name, Isadore Kershner; born April 29, 1923, in Philadelphia, PA; died of lung cancer, November 27, 2010, in Los Angeles, CA. Director. Although he directed several installments of such major movie franchises as Star Wars and James Bond, Kershner’s name was never as well known as his works. He began making films as a documentarian for the United States Information Agency in the early 1950s. In 1958 he directed the film crime drama Stakeout on Dope Street, soon following it with The Young Captives and Hoodlum Priest. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, he directed thirty-five episodes of the television series The Rebel, as well as individual episodes of Cain’s Hundred, Ben Casey, and Naked City. In 1976 Kershner received an Emmy Award nomination for his direction of the historical television movie Raid on Entebbe. During the 1960s and 1970s, he worked with a number of leading men and women in film, including Robert Shaw in The Luck of Ginger Coffey, George C. Scott in The FlimFlam Man, Sean Connery in A Fine Madness, and Barbra Streisand in Up the Sandbox. Kershner directed the 1976 movie The Return of a Man Called Horse, a sequel that many critics considered superior to the original. After directing John Carpenter’s 1978 horror movie Eyes of Laura Mars, Kershner was selected by Star Wars producer George Lucas to direct Star Wars: Episode V—The Empire Strikes Back, the follow-up to the hit 1977 science fiction epic Star Wars: Episode

McCARTHY, Kevin 1914–2010 PERSONAL
Awards, Honors: Outer Critics Circle Award, outstanding debut of an actor, 1991, Antoinette Perry Award nomination, and Drama Desk Award nomination, all for La Bete; Obie Award, distinguished performance, Village Voice, 1995, for The Food Chain.
Born February 15, 1914, in Seattle, WA; died of pneumonia, September 11, 2010, in Hyannis, MA. Actor. With a stage and screen career that spanned seven decades, veteran actor McCarthy appeared in more than one hundred television series, sixty feature films, and eighteen Broadway plays. He began acting while studying at the University of Minnesota in the 1930s. His first Broadway appearance was in a 1938 production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois. McCarthy was a regular performer on the Broadway stage during the 1980s, with roles in Winged Victory, Bravo!, Love’s Labour’s Lost, Advise and Consent, The Three Sisters, Cactus Flower, and Alone Together, among others. He won a Golden Globe Award as the most promising male newcomer in 1952 for his performance as Biff Loman in the film version of Death of a Salesman, but it was his role as Dr. Miles J. Bennell in the cult science fiction film Invasion of the Body Snatchers that became the hallmark of McCarthy’s long career. His other notable movie parts include R. J. Fletcher in the popular 1980s comedy UHF and the deceitful lobbyist Terry Corrigan in The Distinguished Gentleman. McCarthy had a prominent role in the 1980s television series Flamingo Road and made several appearances in the TV programs Amanda’s; Bay City Blues; The Colbys; Murder, She Wrote; and The District. Beginning in 1978 he toured the United States for more than twenty years, playing Harry S. Truman in the one-man show Give ’Em Hell, Harry.

MEREDITH, Don 1938–2010 (Joseph Meredith)
Television Movies: Executive producer and director, Extras: The Extra Special Series Finale, HBO, 2007.
PERSONAL Full name, Joseph Donald Meredith; born April 10, 1938, in Mount Vernon, TX; died of a brain hemorrhage, December 5, 2010, in Santa Fe, NM. Broadcaster and actor. After finishing a career as a star quarterback in the National Football League (NFL), Meredith found success as a color commentator alongside legendary broadcasters Howard Cosell, Keith Jackson, and Frank Gifford. He is credited as one of the first sports announcers to incorporate humor into the broadcasts. In the late 1950s Meredith played college football at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where he was an All-American quarterback in 1958 and 1959. After being drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1960, he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he stayed for nine seasons. In 1966 he was named NFL Player of the Year, and he played in the Pro Bowl in 1966, 1967, and 1969. Meredith retired from football before the 1969 season. In 1970 he joined Cosell and Jackson in the broadcast booth for ABC’s Monday Night Football. During the mid-1970s he was cast in the made-for-television disaster movie Terror on the 40th Floor and had a recurring role as detective Bert Jameson in the crime drama Police Story. Meredith appeared in several other television movies throughout the 1970s but was best known for his irreverent commentary on Monday Night Football. Following his retirement from the program in 1985, he had small parts in two films, the 1994 Western Wyatt Earp: Return to Tombstone and Three Days of Rain, a 2002 film written and directed by his son, Michael Meredith.

NIELSEN, Leslie 1926–2010 PERSONAL Full name, Leslie William Nielsen; born February 11, 1926, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada; died of complications from pneumonia, November 28, 2010, in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Actor. While he is best remembered as the star of the classic comedy films Airplane! and Naked Gun, Nielsen was a serious dramatic actor for thirty years before transitioning to more lighthearted roles. After moving from Canada to New York in the late 1940s, he began acting in live television series, such as Actor’s Studio, The Magnavox Theatre, and Kraft Theatre. His film debut came in 1956 with the crime drama Ransom!, followed by the cult science fiction film Forbidden Planet, in which he played spaceship captain J. J. Adams. The 1957 movie Tammy and the Bachelor featured Nielsen alongside Debbie Reynolds. It was a major commercial success, but he did not act in another hit movie until the 1972 disaster film The Poseidon Adventure. Nielsen had recurring

roles during the 1960s and 1970s in the television dramas The New Breed, Peyton Place, The Virginian, Bracken’s World, Kung Fu, and The Love Boat before being cast in Airplane! in 1980. His deadpan performance in the film, which parodies many of the serious adventure roles he had played in the past, propelled him into a career in comedy. The producers of Airplane! hired him for the part of detective Frank Drebin in the television cop show parody Police Squad! and later in the spin-off films The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!, The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear, and The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult. Although he appeared in several more spoofs in the 1990s and 2000s, including Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Spy Hard, 2001: A Space Travesty, Scary Movie 3, and Superhero Movie, he never recaptured the fame he achieved in his earlier comedies. Nielsen’s fictional autobiography, Naked Truth, was published in 1990, and he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2002.

RAVETCH, Irving 1920–2010 PERSONAL Full name, Irving Dover Ravetch; born November 14, 1920, in Newark, NJ; died of complications from pneumonia, September 19, 2010, in Los Angeles, CA. Writer. As one half of a noted husband-and-wife screenwriting duo, Ravetch is best known for the Academy Award-nominated scripts Hud and Norma Rae. He began his career acting in small productions while attending the University of California at Los Angeles in the late 1930s. Ravetch was a writer at MGM Studios in 1945 when he met his future wife and writing partner, Harriet Frank, Jr. They were married the following year but did not begin collaborating until 1955 with the Westerns Ten Wanted Men and Run for Cover. Prior to that, Ravetch wrote several unsuccessful plays and low-budget films, including the musical Living in a Big Way and the Westerns The Outriders, Vengeance Valley, and The Lone Hand. Ravetch and Frank had their first major success in 1958 with The Long, Hot Summer, an adaptation of the William Faulkner story The Hamlet. Starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Orson Welles, the film also marked Ravetch and Frank’s first collaboration with director Martin Ritt; the three would work together on several other successful projects. In 1963 Ravetch and Frank wrote and produced Hud, an adaptation of the Larry McMurtry novel Horsemen starring Newman and Patricia Neal and directed by Ritt. Other ventures with Ritt followed throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, among them Hombre, The Reivers, Conrack, and Murphy’s Romance. In 1979 the Ritt-directed drama Norma Rae, featuring Sally Field and Beau Bridges, became Ravetch and Frank’s most popular work and earned the duo another Academy Award nomination. The couple’s last writing project was the 1989 romance Stanley and Iris, which starred Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro. In 1988 Ravetch and Frank received the Laurel Award, the Writers Guild of America’s highest honor.
