Preface Provides Broad, Single-Source Coverage in the Entertainment Field Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television (CTFT) is a biographical reference series designed to provide students, educators, researchers, librarians, and general readers with information on a wide range of entertainment figures. Unlike single-volume reference works that focus on a limited number of artists or on a specific segment of the entertainment field, CTFT is an ongoing publication that includes entries on individuals active in the theatre, film, and television industries. Before the publication of CTFT, information-seekers had no choice but to consult several different sources in order to locate the in-depth biographical and credit data that makes CTFT's one-stop coverage the most comprehensive available on the lives and work of performing arts professionals.
Scope CTFT covers not only performers, directors, writers, and producers, but also behind-the-scenes specialists such as designers, managers, choreographers, technicians, composers, executives, dancers, and critics from the United States and Great Britain. With nearly 400 entries in CTFT 17, the series now provides biographies on approximately 8,000 people involved in all aspects of theatre, film, and television. CTFT gives primary emphasis to people who are currently active. New entries are prepared on major stars as well as those who are just beginning to win acclaim for their work. CTFT also includes entries on personalities who have died but whose work commands lasting interest.
Compilation Methods CTFT editors identify candidates for inclusion in the series by consulting biographical dictionaries, industry directories, entertainment annuals, trade and general interest periodicals, newspapers, and on-line databases. Entries are compiled from published biographical sources and then mailed to the listees or their agents for review and verification.
Revised Entries To ensure CTFT's timeliness and comprehensiveness, entries from previous volumes, as well as from Gale Research's Who's Who in the Theatre, are updated for individuals who have been active enough to require revision of their earlier biographies. Such individuals will merit revised entries as often as there is substantial new information to provide. Obituary notices for deceased entertainment personalities already listed in CTFT are also published.
Accessible Format Makes Data Easy to Locate CTFTentries, modeled after those in Gale's highly regarded Contemporary Authors series, are written in a clear, readable style designed to help users focus quickly on specific facts. The following is a summary of the information found in CTFT sketches: ENTRY HEADINC: the form of the name by which the listee is best known.

child. After moving to New York City in the 1930s, he quickly became known as a genius with theater lighting. His stage lighting credits include One Sunday Afternoon (1933), Orson Welles's Dr. Faustus (1937), Winged Victory (1944), What Every Woman Knows (1954), My Fair Lady (1956 and 1964), Camelot (1960), and Carnival! (1968). Feder also designed the exterior (and in some cases the interior) lighting for the RCA Building and the Prometheus Fountain at Rockefeller Center, the United Nations, and the main altar at St. Patrick's Cathedral. His company's name, "Lighting By Feder/' lent prestige to any project. He also was lighting director for The Sonja Henie Ice Revue (1952) and the ballets Giselle, Peter and the Wolf, and the Great American Goof (all 1941). Feder was head of lighting for the Federal Theatre Project of the Works Progress Administration from 1935 to 1941 and lectured at several universities and colleges.

OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTFT sketch: Born November 16, 1909 (some sources say 1908 or 1907), in Cleveland, OH; died of Alzheimer's disease and melanoma, September 9, 1997, in Malibu, CA. Actor, director, producer, writer. Meredith warmed his way into the hearts of millions on stage and screen as a character actor. Whether he portrayed the villain or the likeable hero, Meredith displayed talents that earned him an Emmy for his portrayal in Tail Gunner Joe, two Academy Award nominations, and an Antoinette Perry Award nomination. He left Amherst College in the 1920s and held a series of jobs, such as reporter, clerk, and merchant seaman before turning his talents to acting. His Broadway debut was in Alice in Wonderland, produced in 1932. His other stage credits include The Barretts of Wimpole Street, Winterset, and The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker. He also directed and produced many stage productions, including Season in the Sun and A Thurber Carnival. During World War II, Meredith served in the U.S. Army Air Force as captain. After his wartime service, he returned to the screen as war correspondent Ernie Pyle in United Artists' The Story of C.I. joe. As a supporting player, Meredith appeared in such classics as Of Mice and Men, The Man on the Eiffel Tower (which he also directed), Advise and Consent, Diary of a Chambermaid (for which he wrote the screenplay), and McKenna's Cold. Meredith's distinctive voice could be heard on radio broadcasts from the 1930s to the 1950s. Meredith debuted on television in 1951 on The Billy Rose Show. In 1959 his portrayal of Henry Bemis, the bespeckled, book-loving, bank clerk in the Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last," showed audiences the futility of man's endeavors in the aftermath of nuclear war. In the mid-1960s Meredith quacked and waddled as the villain, Penguin, in ABC's Batma series. His other television appearances include hosting the 1980s series Those Amazing Animals. His seventy-five-year career got a boost when he portrayed the boxing trainer in the Rocky film series, starring Sylvester Stallone. His later film credits include King Lear, C.I. Joe - The Movie, Night of the Hunter, Grumpy Old Men, and Grumpier Old Men.

STEWART, James See STEWART, Jimmy
STEWART, Jimmy 1908-1997 (James Stewart) OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTFT sketch: Born James Maitland Stewart, May 20,1908, in Indiana, PA; died of a blood clot in his lung, July 2,1997, in Beverly Hills, CA. Actor. Whether he was talking to an imaginary rabbit, conversing with an angel named Clarence, or packing his bags to head for Washington, Stewart was loved by millions for his portrayals of a common man thrown into unusual circumstances. Throughout his lifetime Stewart appeared in more than eighty films, made numerous guest appearances on radio and television, and delighted audiences on the stage. In westerns, wartime dramas, thrillers, and biographies, Stewart's characters received international acclaim; many of his films are considered classics, including Harvey, It's a Wonderful Life, Rear Window, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Anatomy of a Murder, and How the West Was Won. After receiving a degree in architecture from Princeton in 1932, Stewart joined the summer stock University Players in Massachusetts appearing as the chauffeur in Goodbye Again. Later that year he made his Broadway debut at the Biltmore Theatre in Carrie Nation. In 1935 Stewart signed a
contract with MGM Studios, portraying a reporter in The Murder Man. Over the next five years he appeared in more than twenty films, including The Philadelphia Story, for which he received an Academy Award for best actor in 1940. During World War II Stewart served as a combat pilot with the U.S. Army Air Force, rising from the rank of private to colonel. For his twenty combat missions, he received the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal, and France's Croix de Guerre. He refused the military's efforts to publicly recognize him as a wartime hero and insisted upon being treated as all other service personnel. After the war Stewart remained in the Air Force Reserves until 1968, retiring with the rank of Brigadier General. After his wartime service he returned to the screen in Frank Capra's holiday classic It's a Wonderful Life. He continued to appear on stage and screen for the next four decades. In the 1970s NBC aired the jimmy Stewart Show in which he portrayed a professor, and from 1973 to 1974, he played the lead in CBS's Hawkins. His recognizable voice was heard as the spokesman for Campbells Soup and in the children's classic An American Tale 2: Fievel Goes West. Later in life Stewart wrote a book of poetry titled Jimmy Stewart and His Poems. He was a staunch advocate of preserving the integrity of black-and-white films, lobbying against the colorization and editing of these films for television. In addition to his Oscar, Stewart received three other nominations and was given a Special Academy Award in 1985. He was also honored with a Life Achievement from the American Film Institute, among many other awards. His film credits also include The Greatest Show on Earth, The Glenn Miller Story, Shenandoah, Cheyenne Social Club, Airport '77, The Shootist, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Flight of the Phoenix.

WHITE, Jesse 1919-1997 OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTFT sketch: Born Jesse Marc Weidenfeld, January 3, 1919, in Buffalo, NY; died January 9, 1997, in Los Angeles, CA. Actor. White, a character actor, appeared in numerous stage, film, and television productions but was just as well known as the lonely Maytag repairman in the company's television commercials. Maytag claimed their appliances worked so well they never needed work, so White's dour expression greeted television viewers in sixty-eight of its ads between 1967 and 1989. White got his start in vaudeville and worked his way onto Broadway productions. In 1944, he landed a role on the Pulitzer Prizewinning play Harvey and was in the movie, starring Jimmy Stewart, of the same name. His film credits include Bedtime for Bonzo (1951), Death of a Salesman (1952), Marjorie Morningstar (1958), It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), and Las Vegas Lady (1976). White's television work includes roles on The Danny Thomas Show (1955-57), That Girl (1969-71), Private Secretary (1953-57), and The Ann Southern Show (1960-61). He also did commercials for Chung King chow mein and Italian Swiss Colony wine. His last television appearance was on Seinfeld in 1996 and his last movie was 1993's Matinee.

ZINNEMANN, Fred 1907-1997 OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTFT sketch: Born April 29,1907, in Austria; died March 14,1997,
Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television • Volume 17 in London, England. Producer and director. Zinnemann began his adult life as a law student at Vienna University who skipped classes to see movies; he died a legendary director with several Academy Awards to his name. After doing the odd camera and production jobs on European sets, Zinnemann left for Hollywood in 1929 and got his first film job as an extra in All Quiet on the Western Front. He started directing short films for MGM in the 1930s and won an Oscar in 1938 for the short That Mother Might Live. His feature-length films were equally as successful and many went on to become classics, especially High Noon (1952, starring Gary Cooper), From Here to Eternity (1953, starring Donna Reed and Frank Sinatra), Oklahoma! (1955), The Nun's Story (1959), and The Sundowners (1960). All were nominated for or won Academy Awards. But the pinnacle of Zinnemann's career may have been the 1966 film A Man for All Seasons, starring Paul Scofield. Zinnemann had used his quiet, persuasive manner with the studio bosses before, most notably to get Montgomery Gift the starring role in From Here to Eternity. But the company heavily objected to Zinnemann's choice for the lead in A Man for All

Seasons—British actor Scofield, who was relatively unknown to American audiences at the time. Zinnemann won them over and the film won several Academy Awards—the film won best picture, Zinnemann won for best director, and Scofield took best actor. Actors liked his attention to performance and many of them—Cooper, Jason Robards (for Julia in 1977), Reed and Sinatra—won Academy Awards in his films. Zinnemann's other directorial credits include The Search (1948), The Men (1950), Teresa (1951), The Member of the Wedding (1952), Behold a Pale Horse (1964), The Day of the jackal (1973), and Five Days One Summer (1981).
