After highly decorated air force service in World War II, Philip Abbott (1923-1998) debuted on stage in 1948 and in film in 1957. His noteworthy films include The Bachelor Party (1957) and Sweet Bird of Youth (1962). He had a long-running part as Assistant Director Ward on the television series The FBI (1965-1974). He appeared in numerous other television series including The Six Million Dollar Man (1977), The Young and the Restless (1986), Rich Man Poor Man - Book II (1976-1977) and Murder She Wrote (1988, 1989, 1995). 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 Tonyfor Excellence in Theatre in 2001, continues under chief editor Ben Hodges. Normal mailing folds. Slightly toned. Corners slightly creased and worn.
