June 6, 1984. In full: "Dear John- Again your invite came while I was
in Europe! Please keep me on your list and let me know if there's anything I can
do for you. Love". Val Dufour (1927-2000), born in New Orleans to
Parisian French parents, made his Broadway debut in High Button Shoes
(1947). He may be best remembered to a wider audience for his starring roles in
daytime TV dramas: Walter Curtin in Another World (1967-1972) and John
Wyatt on Search for Tomorrow (1972-1979). He was seen in many TV guest
spots in the 1950s and 1960s, including 4 episodes of Gunsmoke and many
other Western roles. 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. Fold
