HENRY WILCOXON
The actor's handwritten resume from the archive of Theatre World and Screen World, a
comprehensive record of American stage and film since 1945
Autograph Resume signed, 1 page, 8½x11. New York City, no date. Printed biographical
form on which signer has supplied details: date and place of birth, education and
professional training, and stage and screen experience. Henry Wilcoxon (1905-1984, born
Harry Rederick Wilcoxon in Dominica, British West Indies) began a long collaboration with
Cecil B. DeMille when he portrayed Marc Antony in Cleopatra (1934). A generation
later, he both acted in - and produced - DeMille's The Ten Commandments. Other films
starring Wilcoxon included The Last of the Mohicans (1936) and A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur's Court (1949). Modern audiences probably know him best as Bishop Pickering
from Caddyshack (1980). 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. Toned. Hole near right edge. Corners lightly
creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
