Autograph Letter signed: "Davien Littlefield", 1 page, 8½x11. New York City, no date. To " Mr. Willis", in full: "Suzy's bio is covered in this New York Times piece[item not included]. Marilyn Fried, Suzy's actual teacher would like to accept the award for Suzy, who will be in Tahiti on her honeymoon. We are very excited and grateful for this award. Thank you." Davien Littlefield, founder of Davien Littlefield Management, is an American film and stage producer. His various credits include Up at the Villa (2000), American Standard (2011) and Rockaway (2012). Suzy Amis (b.1962) is an American actress and former model. Known for Twister (1989), Two Small Bodies (1993) and The Usual Suspects (1995), Amis won a Theatre World award in 1985 for her performance in Fresh Horses. She is married to award-winning director James Cameron, whom she met on the set of Titantic (1997). At the time this letter was written, however, Amis was honeymooning with her first husband, actor Sam Robards, son of Jason Robards and Lauren Bacall. 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. Lightly creased and toned. Fine condition.
