ARON KINCAID
Letter thanking editor John Willis for including his picture in Screen World
Autograph Letter signed: "Aron Kincaid", 1 page, 7¼x10¼. No place, 1970 September 9. To "Dear John", in full: "Received the 1970 Willis' Screen World. I think the choice of stills is great and the Oscar section a very good idea. Needless to say I was pleased to again have a photo in the biography section. I must admit that I'm a bit embarrassed to be so prominently featured (the photo) when my last film listing was in the 1968 book. Hope that situation will change soon. That Chuck Connors thing I starred in should make the theatres this year. Let's hope there will be a couple more. Thank you so much for the book. As I've told you before - the reference they provide is unbeatable! My best -". The feature film appearances ofARON KINCAID (1940-2011) extended from beach movies, beginning with Girls on the Beach (1970) to the slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night (1974). His best known TV role was in the final season cast of Bachelor Father (1962). From the 1980s, Kincaid was in demand as a voice actor, with roles including the animated Batman. The Smurfs, Duck Tales and Transformers. Outside the acting profession, he found success as a model and a landscape painter. Kincaid had a major role in The Proud and the Damned (1972), a post-Civil War drama starring Chuck Connors. Theatre World, founded in 1945 by Daniel Blum, is America's oldest annual record of Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theatre, referenced by industry professionals, historians, students and theatre fans worldwide. Until 1998, when a separate nonprofit corporation was established, Theatre World's editorial staff bestowed the prestigious Theatre World Awards for outstanding Broadway and Off-Broadway debuts. Screen World (from 1950) and Dance World (from 1966), administered from the same office, furnished comprehensive information on those entertainment genres. 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. Normal mailing folds. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
