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 221 entries in CTFT 75, the series now provides biographies on approximately 21,783 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
•
CAREER: tagline indicating principal areas of entertainment work; resume of career positions and other vocational achievements; military service.
•
MEMBER: memberships and offices held in professional, union, civic, and social organizations.
•
AWARDS, HONORS: theatre, film, and television awards and nominations; literary and civic awards; honorary degrees.
•
CREDITS: comprehensive title-by-title listings of theatre, film, and television appearance and work credits, including roles and production data as well as debut and genre information.
•
RECORDINGS: album, single song, video, and taped reading releases; recording labels and dates when available.
•
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.
•
SIDELIGHTS: favorite roles; portions of agent- prepared biographies or personal statements from the listee when available.
•
OTHER SOURCES: books, periodicals, and internet sites where interviews or feature stories can be found.

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.

BROWN
Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television • Volume 75 Roll Revue and Rhythm and Blues Revue in 1955. Despite her fame, Brown was forced to work as a maid and school bus driver in the 1960s as rhythm and blues declined in popularity. Brown continued to record albums and appeared in films, television, and on the stage. From 1979 to 1981 she starred in the television series Hello, Larry. Her film credits include Under the Rainbow, Hairspray, and True Identity. In 1988 Brown was awarded back royalties in a legal settlement with Atlantic Records. This prompted Brown to help create the Rhythm and Blues Foundation, which provides aid to recording artists. In 1989 Brown enjoyed a career comeback when she won an Antoinette Perry Award for her performance in the theatrical production Black and Blue. That same year she was awarded a Grammy Award for best jazz vocal performance for her album Blues on Broadway. Brown was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

De CARLO, Yvonne 1924–2007 PERSONAL Original name, Margaret (some sources cite Peggy) Yvonne Middleton; born September 1, 1924 (some sources cite 1922), in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; died January 8, 2007, in Woodland Hills, CA. Actress. De Carlo began her film career in the early 1940s in a number of small, uncredited roles. She landed her first title role in 1945 in Salome, Where She Danced. This was followed by leading roles in such films as Slave Girl, River Lady and Calamity Jane and Sam Bass. By the 1950s De Carlo had a busy film career. She appeared in The Desert Hawk, Scarlet Angel, Death of a Scoundrel, and many others before her notable performance as Sephora in The Ten Commandments in 1956. Another key performance was as Amanda Starr in Band of Angels in 1957. Though De Carlo continued to work in films in the 1960s and 1970s, she began focusing on television. She may be best remembered for her role as Lily Munster in the comedic television series The Munsters, which aired from 1964 to 1966. De Carlo reprised this role in two made-for-television movies as well as a feature film. In 1987 De Carlo published her memoir. Her final appearance was in the television movie The Barefoot Executive in 1995.
