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. MARTIN E. BROOKS (1925-2015) was an actor primarily known for appearing in The Six Million Dollar Man (1974-1978) from 1975-1978 and Bionic Woman (1976-1978). Interestingly, he played the same character on both shows: Dr. Rudy Wells. Brooks also made myriad guest appearances on TV shows and had a handful of minor roles in made-for-TV-movies in a career that lasted from the early 1950s to the mid-1990s. 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. Corners slightly creased and worn.
