1979 May 17. On stationery bearing on verso a printed Hirschfeld caricature
of a woman dining, to John Willis, in full: "I'm looking forward to
attending the Theatre World awards this year! I've had to miss the last two
years due to commitments out of town. I know Charley is very happy and excited
about presenting an award this year. Hope to see you. Love". Accompanied

Seidel Miller danced in two skits of the Ziegfeld Follies of 1943.
She also danced in the ensemble cast of On the Town (1944-1946). She
played a character role in the film Witchtrap (1989). 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. Fine condition.
