Former high school teacher Abby Lewis (1910-1997) got her acting
start in summer stock and worked her way up to her Broadway debut in
Hamlet (1934-1935). She made the first of many guest star appearances
on TV in 1952. In all, Lewis had seven Broadway credits between 1934 and 1975
and appeared in over 20 movies and TV shows between 1952 and 1997. She is the
widow to John Davenport. John A. Willis (1916-2010), active in
Theatre World from the beginning, became its chief editor in 1965, holding that
position until 2008. Willis is regarded as one of the foremost theatre and
film historians of the 20th century. While producing (and presenting) the
annual Theatre World Awards, Willis also served on the nominating committee for
the Tony Awards. Theatre World, which received its own Tony for Excellence in
Theatre in 2001, continues under chief editor Ben Hodges. Fine
condition.
