Autograph note signed: "Chen Hsen Huang" in blue ink. 2 page, 10x7 flat, 5x7 folded. December 1973. In full: "Mr. John Willis, I am having very good time in York College now, and I grasp my hope to go to a med school. I hope that you also are having the best time". Actress and producer Tina Chen acted prolifically on television in series such as CBS Playhouse (1967), The Streets of San Francisco (1976), Airwolf (1984) and Mercy (2009), as well as in movies including Alice's Restaurant (1969), The Hawaiians (1970), The Ghost of Flight 401 (1978) and Three Days of the Condor (1975). Chen performed on Broadway in the production of The Love Suicide at Schofield Barracks (1972), and was a producer on Broadway as well in Passion (1983) and The Rink (1984). 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 rounded. Slightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
