JULIA ROJAS
AFTRA membership application signed by actress Julia Rojas in 1960
Document signed: "Julia Rojas" in ink. Ink notations in unknown hand. 2 pages, 6x8¾, 1 sheet, front and verso. With 6½x3¼ initiation fee receipt carbon copy with perforated left edge stapled at top edge. February 23, 1960. Membership form for the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists as an actress. At the time of this AFTRA application, Rojas was scheduled to appear on an episode of Playhouse 90. At a time when most drama anthology shows were only an hour long, Playhouse 90 (1955-1961) stood out with its hour and a-half long length - hence its title. Playhouse 90 stood out for a more important reason, though. The show attracted high-flight talent, including directors John Frankenheimer George Roy Hill and Sidney Lumet, writers like Rod Serling (his Requiem for a Heavyweight first debuted on Playhouse 90 in 1956 and won a total of five Emmy awards and a Peabody Award for Serling) and actors like Charles Laughton James Mason, Peter Lorre, Kim Hunter, Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. The series was nominated for numerous Emmy Awards and won four, for Best New Program Series, Best Dramatic Series - One Hour of Longer and Best Dramatic Anthology Series. It also won a Peabody Award in 1959. Form is lightly creased and toned at edges and corners. Receipt has a fold crease at top edge and carbon copy marks. Otherwise, fine condition.
