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 nearly 300 entries in CTFT 19, the series now provides biographies on approximately 8,500 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. Entries are compiled from published biographical sources and then mailed to the listees or their agents for review and verification.
Revised Entries To ensure CTFT's timeliness and comprehensiveness, entries from previous volumes, as well as from Gale Research'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.

Song Lyrics: Wrote the song lyrics to I'm So Happy I Could Cry, Leave the Dishes in the Sink, Ma, and Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long. SIDELIGHTS Milton Berle's comedy-variety series The Texaco Star Theater (also known as The Milton Berle Show), aired from 1948 to 1953, Tuesday nights at eight o'clock, and played an important role in establishing television as a major entertainment medium. The year it went on the air, critic Jack Gould wrote that "Berle's rapid gags, broad clowning, versatility, and hard work added up to video's first smash hit." Les Brown, in his Encyclopedia of Television, asserted that "the program, beginning in a time when television was a luxury enjoyed chiefly by the wealthier families, helped to spur the sale of television sets to workingclass homes." Because of the phenomenal popularity of The Texaco Star Theater, Berle became known as "Mr. Television." He also gained another nickname, along with family status in thousands of American homes, when one night on the show he told children to heed their parents and go to bed on time: "Now listen to your Uncle Miltie . . . " To this day he remains "Uncle Miltie" in the minds of millions of television viewers. Berle developed the successful comic technique he used in The Texaco Star Theater over a performing career that began at age five, when he won a contest for Charlie Chaplin imitators. He spent much of his childhood working in vaudeville, first as a member of E. F. Wolf's children's acts, then joining with Elizabeth Kennedy to form the team of "Kennedy and Berle," and finally as a solo performer. In the 1930s, Berle often worked as a master of ceremonies at vaudeville and movie houses. During this period, he also began his radio career, which included stints as a regular comedian on several different shows. It was the success of Berle's radio version of The Texaco Star Theater that convinced sponsor Texaco and the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) to let him transfer the show to television. Since Texaco Star Theatre went off the air, Berle recounted in his 1974 autobiography that he has made guest appearances in nearly every major television comedy or dramatic show. He has also appeared in

SIDELIGHTS CuIIiton told CTFT: "I am a third generation actor. My maternal grandfather, William Haworth, was an enormously successful playwright and actor in this country at the turn of the century. His plays The Ensign, A Nutmeg Match, and On the Mississippi, among others, were widely produced in New York, on the road, and in stock. His brother, Joseph Haworth, was a star classical actor and matinee idol. At eighteen, Joseph Haworth played Laertes to Edwin Booth's Hamlet, and subsequently played Hamlet himself to great acclaim; on Broadway, he played
Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television • Volume 19 Romeo opposite Julia Marlowe, Macbeth to Helen Modjeska's celebrated Lady Macbeth, and Cassius with Richard Mansfield's Brutus in Julius Caesar. Stage and film actor Wallace Ford was my uncle. Another uncle was Academy Award winning art director Ted Haworth. My brother Patrick Culliton has acted extensively in television, film, and in West Coast theatre. I am deeply proud to be part of a family that has contributed to the American theatre for the past one hundred and twenty-five years/'

DENVER John
1943-1997
OBITUARY NOT/Cf-See index for CTFT sketch: Original name, Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.; born December 31,1943, in Roswell, NM;died in a plane crash, October 12,1997, in Pacific Grove, CA. Singer, songwriter, and actor. Many of Denver's songs, especially Rocky Mountain High and Thank God I'm a Country Boy, became fixtures in American culture and made him one of the most popular singer/songwriters of the 1970s. Though his record sales and popular-
DENVER • 119 ity waned in the 1980s, Denver still packed stadiums with loyal fans and played a concert a week before his death. Never pretending to be trendy or hip, Denver's songs matched his clean-cut imagepeace, happiness, and loving the outdoors. The son of an Air Force pilot, Denver wasn't really interested in music until Elvis Presley hit the scene. Denver dropped out of Texas Tech University and moved to Los Angeles, where he took a day job and sang in lounges at night. During this time, at the suggestion of a record producer, he changed his last name to Denver. He caught a break in 1965 when he was chosen over 250 other musicians to be the lead singer for the Chad Mitchell Trio, a folk group. He toured with the band and recorded the album That's the Way It's Gonna Be with them. In 1969 wrote the song Leaving on a ]et Plane, which was recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary and became a smash hit. Once he had a foothold in the music scene, Denver cut the albums Rhymes and Reasons (1969) and Take Me to Tomorrow (1970), and scored another hit with the single "Take Me Home, Country Roads," which sold a million copies. The next year, he recorded "Rocky Mountain High," an autobiographical song that became his signature and spoke of his love of the land. A string of hit albums continued in the early 1970s including Poems, Prayers and Promises (1971), Aerie (1972), Farewell Andromeda (1973), and Back Home Again (1974). The 1975 pressing of John Denver's Greatest Hits eventually sold ten million copies, one of the best-selling albums in RCA Record's history. That same year, he was named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association. While critics sometimes chided Denver's music and image for being too bland or too wholesome, his popularity soared because his feel-good songs struck a chord with people who wanted music to make them happy. And Denver performed with a range of artists from other musical genres including opera tenor Placido Domingo, violinist Itzhak Perlman, and Kermit the Frog from The Muppets. Denver received a great deal of mail from fans who said his music helped them through tough times in their lives. In 1977, he crossed over into movies when he starred with George Burns in Oh, God!, in which he played an ordinary man chosen by God (Burns) to carry his message. He appeared in scores of television specials during the 1970s. Denver's other recordings in that decade include An Evening with John Denver (1975), Windsong (1975), Live in London (1976),

Spirit (1976), / Want to Live (1977), John Denver (1979), and A Christmas Together with the Muppets (1979). Denver remained popular in the early 1980s with the albums Autograph (1980), Some Days Are Diamonds (1981), Perhaps Love (1981), Seasons of the Heart (1982), It's About Time (1983), and Collection (1984). The late 1980s presented some difficulties for Denver, however; he was arrested for drunk driving and his record sales dropped. He devoted himself more to social causes such as Friends of the Earth, Human/Dolphin Foundation, Save the Children Foundation, and UNICEF; he sailed with famed marine biologist Jacques Cousteau. He was also active in promoting space travel, and he was a member of the National Space Institute and the European Space Agency. Denver continued to record and released the albums Dreamland Express (1985), One World (1986), The Flower That Shattered the Stone (1990), Earth Songs (1990), Different Directions (1991), and Higher Ground (1991). Denver always enjoyed flying and was known as sort of a daredevil around Aspen, Colorado, where he maintained one of his residences. Denver died after an experimental small plane he was flying crashed into Monterey Bay off the California Coast.

He made his stage debut in 1955 in a production of Damn Yankees as Rocky, and he later reprised the role for the film of the same name in 1958. His other stage appearances included 5/xth Finger in a Five Finger Glove and New Faces, while his film roles included productions such as Senior Prom and A Hole in the Head. In the 1960s he began a prominent career in television, first as a director of episodes on shows such as The Dick Van Dyke Show and My Favorite Martin. Then he worked as a series producer, first with Get Smart, then with Mr. Roberts. In 1969 his show The Courtship of Eddie's Father aired; it was a program that he created and executive produced. He also directed episodes of the series and appeared as Norman Tinker. Komack then served as creator and executive producer of two hit shows: Chico and the Man for NBC and We/come Back Kotter for ABC. Again he directed episodes of both shows; he provided the voice of principal John Lazarus and also appeared as Horshack's uncle on We/come Back Kotter. Work on other short-lived series followed, including the series 9 to 5, which was a spinoff of the popular movie of the same name. His writing credits included episodes of Hennessey, My Favorite Martin, The Courtship of Eddie's Father,
