Peter Walker (b. 1927) is an actor of stage and film, with a career spanning 50 plus years. His first appearance was in Jeunes maries in 1953, and he continued to act in television series and film until his last appearance in 2000 in the Postcards from Paradise Park. He also appeared in several Broadway plays, but did not have any major roles, and did not appear on Broadway after 1986. 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. Corners lightly worn and creased. Light surface creases. Slightly toned.
