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 171 entries in CTFT 72, the series now provides biographies on approximately 21,099 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: •

PERSONAL
Born April 22, c. 1923, in Oak Cliff, TX; died of complications from a stroke, June 23, 2006, in Los Angeles, CA; buried in Hillside Memorial Park, Culver City, CA. Producer. Prolific television producer, Spelling was the king of entertainment fluff. Best known for producing such popular television series as The Love Boat, Charlie’s Angels, Dynasty, and Beverly Hills, 90210, Spelling enjoyed a long and prosperous career that spanned five decades and included the creation of more than 200 television shows. Spelling’s entertainment career began as an actor in the 1950s. He had small roles in episodes of I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, and Dragnet and appeared in the motion picture Kismet. Spelling then transitioned into writing, directing, and producing. He wrote episodes of Dick Powell’s ⬙Zane Grey Theatre,⬙ Playhouse 90, and Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse. Johnny Ringo, the first television series Spelling produced, was followed by Burke’s Law, Honey West, and his first big success, The Mod Squad, which aired from 1968 to 1973. The 1970s and 1980s were tremendously successful decades for Spelling, with many of his series dominating the ABC schedule. Among these shows were The Rookies, Starsky and Hutch, S.W.A.T., Family, Charlie’s Angels, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Vega$, T. J. Hooker, Hart to Hart, and Dynasty. Following the cancellation of Dynasty in 1989, Spelling’s presence from the ABC schedule dropped, and the media declared that Spelling’s successful run had come to a close. In 1990 Spelling proved his naysayers wrong with the introduction of Beverly Hills, 90210, which starred his daughter Tori along with a cadre of attractive young actors. The popular show ran for a decade. Also in the 1990s Spelling produced Melrose Place, 7th Heaven, and Charmed, which aired from 1998 to 2006. In addition to television series, Spelling produced hundreds of television movies, including Satan’s School for Girls, Death Sentence, The Best Little Girl in the World, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, and And the Band Played On. Spelling’s autobiography, Aaron Spelling: A Prime Time Life, was published in 1996.
