Richard Jordan (1937-1993) was a stage and screen actor who earned dozens of credits over the course of his 30-year career. He made his Broadway debut in 1961 and his television debut a year later. In 1976, he starred in the television mini-series Captains and the Kings; his role as Joseph Armagh earned him a Golden Globe Award. Films he appeared in include Dune (1984), Logan's Run (1976), and Gettysburg (1993). The latter film was his final credit, although he filmed some scenes for The Fugitive (1993) before his passing. He was eventually replaced by Jeroen Krabbé for the role of Dr. Nichols. 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. Corners slightly creased. Lightly toned.
