1978 September 18. To John Willis, New York City, in full:
"Aside from mentioning you and the Theatre World Award with great pride, I am
deeply moved that you have remembered my birthday - and it has been a beautiful
one. I am now working on Another World about twice a week and enjoying it
thoroughly. Hopefully, soon something will come up in the theatre which will
give me the opportunity of inviting you and seeing you again. Best wishes and
love". When she wrote this letter Gordana Rashovich had just won a
Theatre World Award for her New York stage debut in Fefu and Her Friends.
A decade later (1988), she would receive a Drama Desk nomination for A
Shayna Maidel. She has found steady work in New York theatre, while finding
time for character roles in feature films (Heaven's Gate); many TV guest
spots, including Mad Men, Third Watch and all three Law &
Order series; a regular role on Whoopi (2003-2004), and, yes, another
daytime drama (Guiding Light, 2009).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. Ink lightly faded. Otherwise, fine
condition.
