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 about 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, Canada, Great Britain, and the world. With some 300 entries in CTFT 2 /, the series now provides biographies on approximately 9,000 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 online 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 CTFT entries, 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 HEADING: the form of the name by which the listee is best known.

BRIDGES, Lloyd 1913-1998 OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTFT sketch: Born Lloyd Vernet Bridges II on January 15,1913, in San Leandro, CA; died March 10, 1998, in Los Angeles, CA. Actor. Bridges displayed his versatility as an actor during a prolific career that spanned seven decades. Although he appeared on stage and in more than 100 films, he found some of his greatest success on television, especially in the series Sea Hunt as Mike Nelson. The show, which featured Bridges as an underwater investigator, aired from 1957 to 1961. Describing the series' star as "tall, blond and craggy-faced/' the New York Times reported that latenight talk show hosts ''used to tell jokes derived from the frequency with which Mr. Bridges, always fit and trim . . . was seen daring the fates underwater or emerging from the sea unscathed despite sharks, shipwrecks and assorted malefactors." Sea Hunt was also important to Bridges for other reasons: it marked the acting debut of his sons Beau and Jeff, who went on to become famous actors themselves. Bridges is remembered for his performances in many movies as well, especially as scheming deputy Harvey Pell in High Noon and as crazed air traffic controller McCroskey in Airplane! In his later years, Bridges also received recognition for work in productions that featured him with one or both of his sons. The films Tucker: The Man and His Dream and Blown Away featured both Lloyd and Jeff, while Bridges guest starred occasionally on Beau's series Harts of the West. The 1986 teleplay Thanksgiving Promise featured all of the celebrated Bridges, and included roles for Lloyd's wife, Dorothy, and grandson Jordan. Bridges began his acting career in the 1930s on the stage. His first role was in The Taming of the Shrew in Berkeley. He appeared in stock productions and supported his income by teaching theatrical courses at Cherry Lawn School. His wife, Dorothy, worked as an instructor as well. Bridges was also involved in a radical theater group called Actors Lab. That association later brought him trouble during Senator Joseph McCarthy's "Red Scare" trials in the 1950s. McCarthy's staff investigated Bridges, and the actor
BRIDGES «73 found himself blacklisted from working until he could be cleared of any wrongdoing by the FBI. Some within the entertainment industry claim the investigations harmed Bridges' career. However, the success of the series Sea Hunt, which began in 1957, shows a different outcome. In addition to his work on the stage, Bridges added film credits to his resume beginning in the 1940s with roles in The Lone Wolf Takes a Chance, Harmon of Michigan, Here Comes Mr. Jordan, Blondie Goes to College, A Walk in the Sun, and The Trouble with Women. Later films included Little Big Horn, The Kid from Left Field, Joe versus the Volcano, Hot Shots!, and Honey, I Blew Up the Kid! He also appeared in the short comedy They Stooge to Conga with the Three Stooges. Sea Hunt was his first television series—it ended when Bridges decided it was time to move on to other roles. He appeared as Adam Sheppard on The Lloyd Bridges Show and was later featured on series such as Lloyd Bridges' Water World, Joe Forrester, Paper Dolls, and Capital News. Bridges had guest roles in many popular miniseries. Among them were Roots, How the West Was Won, and North and South Book //. His television movie credits include Trouble Comes to Town, The Great Wallendas, Dress Gray, Secret Sins of the Father, and Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean. He also appeared in episodes of popular television shows, including Mission: Impossible, Here's Lucy, Police Story, Battlestar Galactica, and The love Boat. Two productions featuring Bridges were unreleased at the time of his death: Meeting Daddy and lane Austen's Mafia. Bridges and his wife also devoted time to social causes, particularly world hunger and the environment. In 1988 he headed a CARE mission on hunger in sub-Saharan Africa. Six years later the Bridges received UCLA's Ralph Bunche Peace Award. In all, the Bridges were married nearly sixty years. Noting that the actor had never won an Academy Award during his career, the London Times had this to say: "Bridges succeeded where so many actors fail: he was hardly ever out of work." The Times continued: "He survived an early brush with fame in infancy when President William Howard Taft awarded him a trophy for being the fattest baby in America."

DEREK
*85
CA; died of heart failure, May 22, 1998, in Santa Maria, CA. Actor, director, producer, and screenwriter. Derek is remembered more for his marriages than he is for his own career in the entertainment business. Noting that he was "known for marrying beautiful actresses," the Los Angeles Times reported that he "was often accused of exploiting them in his largely unsuccessful films." His wives included Pati Behrs, Ursula Andress, Linda Evans, and Bo Derek. Some in the industry referred to him as a Svepgali, although his last wife, Bo, contended that was not the case. He helped Bo become an overnight celebrity with her appearance in the 1979 movie 10. He remained involved in her career as he featured her in some of the other films he directed, including Tarzan, the Ape Man, Chosts Can't Do It, and Bolero. Derek's decision to feature his much-younger wife in explicit nude scenes in some of their movies together sparked controversy. Derek began his career as an actor and ultimately appeared in about thirty movies. He found success and was called "Hollywood's find of 1949." He appeared in Knock on Any Door, All the King's Men, Run for Cover, The Ten Commandments, and Exodus. His made his debut as a producer and director with Nightmare in the Sun in 1963. A few years later he presented Once before I Die, a film which he produced, directed, filmed, and scripted. It was in the 1980s that he began directing Bo in motion pictures. He had married her after she turned eighteen in 1974. In response to claims that he exploited his wife, he once told the Los Angeles Times: "Look, God assembled her brilliantly, and audiences want to see her nude." Although 10 was a hit, Derek's Bolero did not fare well with audiences. The movie, which Derek wrote and directed, received some unintended reactions from viewers. Noting that the movie "ran into trouble over the extent of [Bo's] sex scenes," the New York Times added that the scenes "reportedly provoked audiences into fits of laughter."

FRIENDLY, Fred W.
1915-1998
OBITUARY NOT/GE-See index for CA sketch: Born Ferdinand Friendly Wachenheimer, October 30, 1915, in New York, NY; name legally changed to Fred Friendly in 1938; died following a series of strokes, March 3,1998, in the Bronx, NY. Journalist, producer, executive, educator, and author. A pioneer in the television news arena, Friendly collaborated with legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow to shape the television documentary through their controversial show, See It Now. He went on to head CBS News, ultimately quitting over an incident that brought the
FRIENDLY • 119 commercialism (ratings and profits) of television to the forefront. Friendly began his career in radio at WEAN in Providence, Rhode Island, in the late 1930s. He saw success with the show Footprints in the Sands of Time, which discussed important historical figures. During World War II, Friendly served in the U.S. Army as a Signal Corps instructor and also as a correspondent for the CBI Roundup. Later, he became a CBS correspondent in India, then began a radio quiz show on NBC called Who Said That? with his thenwife, Dorothy Greene. In 1948 he met Murrow and the pair initiated a collaboration that would last throughout much of the remainder of Murrow's life. First, they created an oral history of 1932 to 1945 which was recorded by Columbia Records as / Can Hear It Now. They followed with albums featuring the 1920s and the years after World War II. The duo turned their success into a radio series called Hear It Now in 1951 for CBS. The weekly series was adapted into the television series See It Now the same year; when it aired, it became the first commercial broadcast to be seen live from coast to coast. Murrow appeared on camera, while both men coproduced. The show, as detailed in the Los Angeles Times, "took viewers to Europe for a ride on the Orient Express, to Korea for a battlefield tour, and to Ann Arbor, Mich., for the announcement of Dr. Jonas Salk's new polio vaccine." The show also featured more controversial segments, especially the 1954 "Report on Senator McCarthy," which attacked Joseph McCarthy's witchhunt for alleged communists. Amid its success, the show was eventually expanded to become an hour-long, yet network executives shifted its format from a weekly show to a series of specials. Some joked it should be called "See It Now and Then." Canceled in 1958, "the show fell victim to the commercialism that Friendly battled throughout his career—the networks' preference for more marketable adventure and game shows over controversial documentaries," according to the Los Angeles Times. In 1959 Friendly became executive producer of CBS Reports until 1964 when he took over as president of CBS News. While with CBS Reports, Friendly produced Murrow's Harvest of Shame, a 1960 look at the life of migrant workers. (Murrow would eventually succumb to lung cancer in 1965.) Friendly's stint as president of CBS News only lasted two years but included the shows Town Meeting of the World, National Drivers Test, and Vietnam Perspective. In 1966 he resigned in protest when the network chose to air a rerun of / Love Lucy rather than a fifth night of live coverage of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee public hearing on Vietnam. According to the New York Times: " % It was not a matter of deciding

between two broadcasts/ Mr. Friendly wrote later, * but a choice between interrupting the morning run of the profit machine—whose only admitted function was to purvey six one-minute commercials every half-hour—or electing to make the audience privy to an event of overriding importance taking place in a Senate hearing room at that very moment/" Friendly then joined the faculty at Columbia University as the Edward R. Murrow Professor of Journalism. Later stints included work as a television adviser to the Ford Foundation, member of the New York City Mayor's Task Force on CAW and Telecommunications, and teacher and director of the Television Workshop for the Columbia University School of Journalism. He continued to be concerned with the ethical problems facing the news media and he organized private conferences for news groups. He began "The Fred Friendly Seminars" in 1984, which featured various politicians, educators, newspeople, and other notable figures. The seminars were broadcast on public television. He wrote several books in addition to his television writings. They include Due to Circumstances beyond Our Control, The Good Guys, the Bad Guys and the First Amendment: Free Speech vs. Fairness in Broadcasting, and Minnesota Rag: The Dramatic Story of the Landmark Supreme Court Case That Gave New Meaning to Freedom of the Press. During his career, Friendly won numerous awards with Murrow. He also won ten Peabody Awards, was inducted to the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1994, and was honored with the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award.

He made his first film in 1939—Million Dollar Legs. Later films included The Five Thousand Fingers of Dr. T, These Clamour Girls, Once You Kiss a Stranger, Seven Days Leave, and The Senator Was Indiscreet. In 1950 he got his own television series, The Peter Lind Hayes Show. In 1960 he and Healy brought the Peter Loves Mary series to television. He also appeared as a guest host on the Tonight Show. Among his radio credits are The Peter Lind Hayes-Mary Healy Show. The daily show was broadcast from the basement of their house in New Rochelle, New York, and heard by more than six million listeners each day. In addition, he tried his hand at writing.

LORD, Jack
1920-1998
OBITUARY NOT/Cf-See index for CTFT sketch: Born John Joseph Patrick Ryan, December 30,1920, in New York, NY; died of heart problems, January 21,1998, in Honolulu, HI. Actor, director, producer, author. Lord is remembered for his work in the longest-running cop show, Hawaii Five-0, which aired from 1968 to 1980. Playing straight-laced Steve McGarrett, head of the Five-0 unit in Honolulu, Lord also directed and produced episodes of the series. When the detectives would catch the criminal each week, Lord would utter the famous line that became common in American households: "Book 'em Danno." James MacArthur was featured as Lord's right-hand man, Dan "Danno" Williams. The series was to the 1970s what Miami Vice was to the 1980s. It was seen in eighty countries by more than 300 million viewers. Part of its popularity was due to the fact that it was filmed on location in Hawaii—an aspect of production that Lord insisted on. The show is said to have boosted the tourism industry in the islands. During his career, Lord performed on both stage and screen. He trained for the stage with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse. His stage work included roles in The Illegitimist, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Little Hut, and The Savage. He won a Theatre World Award in 1954 for his work in Traveling Lady. Lord's film work was seen in productions such as The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell, The Hangman, Ride to Hangman's Tree, God's Little Acre, Dr. No, and Doomsday Flight. He wrote the script for 1968's Melissa. As a film actor, he found himself being cast all too often in villainous roles. His television roles offered him a change. In addition to his
work on Hawaii Five-0, he played the title character, a rodeo rider, in the Stoney Burke series. He also had guest starring parts in episodes of Have Gun, Will Travel, Route 66, Dr. Kildare, The FBI, and 12 O'clock High. Lord directed screen work as well. His movies included M Station: Hawaii, while his television credits included Honor Is an Unmarked Grave, Who Says Cops Don't Cry, and Death with Father. Lord went into semi-retirement after the Hawaii Five-0 series ended. He continued to pursue his love of painting, which he developed in his teenage years while sailing with the Merchant Marines. His paintings were sold privately and are also featured in museum collections, including the Whitney Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He had also invested in various shopping centers. OBITUARIES AND OTHER SOURCES Books: Who's Who in the West, Marquis, 1993. Periodicals: Chicago Tribune, January 23,1998, section 1, p. 11.

NORMAN, Maidie 1912-1998 OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTFT sketch: Born Maidie Gamble, October 16, 1912, in Villa Rica, GA; died of lung cancer, May 2, 1998, in San Jose, CA. Educator, actress. Norman is remembered for her performances on stage, film, and screen. She is also credited with helping the role of African American women in the arts. Cast as a maid in the early 1960s classic Whatever Happened to Baby ]ane?, starring Bette Davis, Norman "refused to play the maid as a doltish, stereotypical character/ noted the New York Times. "Norman refused to speak in the 'yessum' dialect expected and changed some of her lines," explained the Los Angeles Times. "I'd say, 'You know, this is not the way we talk these days. This is old slavery-time talk/" Later, she developed a course at the University of California—Los Angeles on the history of African American theater in the United States. Initially, she had been asked to teach a course on "black acting," but explained that didn't exist. Norman offered to teach the history course instead. Norman made her stage debut in 1949's Deep Are the Roots. She followed with performances in A Raisin in the Sun, Purlie Victorious, The Amen Corner, Andromache, and Blood Wedding. She performed in a solo show on the college circuit in 1958. Norman's first film was Burning Cross in 1947. She had the lead in The Well and supporting roles in Torch Song, Maurie, Airport '77, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, and Hostile Witness. Norman looked to television for more diverse roles for African American women. She appeared in shows like Dragnet, Police Woman, The jeffersons, Marcus Welby, M.D., Little House on the Prairie, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and Roots, the Second Generation. She was featured in miniseries and movies such as Sty of the Blind Pig, Bare Essence, His Mistress, and Secrets of a Mother and Daughter. Norman won numerous awards for her work. Among them were the Outstanding Citizen Award from the Author's Study Club in 1955, the Woman of the Year Award from the Los Angeles Sentinel in 1964, and induction into the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1977. The Maidie Norman Research Award at UCLA was named in her honor. OBITUARIES AND OTHER SOURCES Books: Who's Who among African Americans, Gale, 199697.

1998, in New York, NY. Actress. Despite the range of acting work that Questel performed during her prolific career, she will be best remembered for her work behind the camera as the voice of cartoon characters Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. She began her career at the age of seventeen after winning a lookalike contest. The singing star that Questel resembled, Helen Kane, was known as the "boop-oop-a-doop queen." Questel landed work in vaudeville productions at the Palace Theatre and then on the RKO theatre circuit. She displayed great range in her abilities to imitate popular celebrities of that era, such as Rudy Vallee, Maurice Chevalier, Marlene Dietrich, and Kane. In the early 1930s she was hired as the new voice of Betty Boop in cartoons. She also performed as Boop in the radio show Betty Boop's Frolics in 1932. As Betty Boop, Questel recorded "On the Good Ship Lollipop" with the famous closing "boop" line; the song proved popular with listeners as more than two million copies were sold. In all, Questel's initial work as Boop lasted until 1939 and included 150 cartoons. Later, she would be asked to reprise the role in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? She found further voice work in the Popeye cartoons as the voice of the title character's girlfriend, Olive Oyl, as well as baby Sweet Pea. From 1933 to 1947, Questel's voice was featured in some 450 episodes of Popeye. Other voice work included Casper, the friendly ghost. In 1948 she began appearing in stage roles, including Dr. Social. Later theater roles included performances in Come Blow Your Horn, Walk Like a Lion, and Where Have You Been, Billy Boy? In 1990 she appeared in Betty Boop—60 Years in New York City. Her career also included films such as A Majority of One, Funny Cirl, and Move. She sang the Betty Boop theme song in Woody Allen's Zelig in 1983, then appeared as Allen's mother in his New York Stories in 1989. On television, Questel appeared in soap operas such as Somerset and All My Children. She also became a familiar face in commercials for products like Folger's Coffee, Playtex, and Scott Paper Towels (as Aunt Bluebell). Her work in entertainment earned her various honors, including the Troupers Award for outstanding contributions. OBITUARIES AND OTHER SOURCES Books: Who's Who in America, Marquis, 1997.

RAYMOND, Gene 1908-1998 (Raymond Guion) OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTFT sketch: Born Raymond Guion, August 13, 1908, in New York, NY; died of pneumonia, May 3, 1998, in Los Angeles, CA. Actor, director, producer, writer. Raymond distinguished himself as an actor in stage, film, and television productions. He was also famous for his lengthy marriage to actress and recording artist Jeanette MacDonald, who had paired with Nelson Eddy to make romantic ballads and movies. Raymond began his career in his childhood, first appearing on Broadway under his real name, Raymond Guion, in 1920's The Piper. Numerous stage performances followed as well as major tours. His stage roles included Sid Swanson in The War Song, Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet, Edward Burgeon in Madly in Love, as well as parts in The Detective Story, Holiday for Lovers, Be Quiet, My Love, and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? He made his film debut in 1931 as Dick Gary in Personal Maid. Subsequent performances included If I Had a Million, Red Dust, There Goes My Girl, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Smilin' Through (with MacDonald), Hit the Deck, and The Gun Riders. He also starred in, directed, and wrote 1948's Million Dollar Weekend. In the 1950s he broke into television. He was the host of the series Fireside Theatre, a panelist on What's Going On?, host on both Hollywood Summer Theatre and TV Reader's Digest, and portrayed Robert Stevens in Paris 7000. Raymond also made guest appearances on shows such as The Outer Limits, The Red Skelton Show, Laredo, Judd for the Defense, The Bold Ones, Mannix, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E., The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Defenders.

Theatre. His writing credits also include the play Prima Donna, and the songs "Will You?" and "Let Me Always Sing." Raymond was involved in other pursuits as well. He took time off from his acting during World War II to serve as a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Forces. Later, during the conflict in Vietnam, he served as a colonel in the Air Force Reserve and saw duty flying over South Vietnam. His war service brought him various decorations. In addition, he was a founder of Masque Productions, presided over the Motion Picture and Television Fund, was board member of the Screen Actors Guild, vice-president of the Arthritis Foundation of Southern California, and was a trustee with the Falcon Foundation of the United States Air Force Academy. Raymond's twenty-eight-year marriage to MacDonald, which ended with her death, brought him celebrity as well. However, the MacDonald and Eddy duo had earned the nickname "America's Sweethearts" and fans were often surprised to find MacDonald was really married to Raymond. He often appeared at gatherings of the Jeanette MacDonald Fan Club, and he was featured as himself in the 1992 television program Nelson and Jeanette, America's Singing Sweethearts.

VILLIERS, James 1933-1998 CREDITS OBITUARY NOT/CE-See index for CTFT sketch: Born September 29,1933, in London, England; died of cancer, January 18,1998. Actor. Villiers is remembered for his roles on both the stage and on film and television screens. As noted in the London Times, "he was one of those instantly recognisable characters who decorate the margins of British plays and films, without ever quite taking centre stage.... He was perfect for a variety of roles, usually dislikeable." Villiers made his stage debut in 1953 in Ten Little Niggers and his Broadway debut in Richard II in 1956. Throughout his career, he appeared in productions such as Julius Caesar, The Making of Moo, Trolius and Cressida, Tomorrow with Pictures, Write Me a Murder, The Happy Apple, The Doctor's Dilemma, The Madness of King George III, and Peter Pan. Villiers made a few pictures as well, including Carry on Sergeant, Repulsion, Haifa Sixpence, The Ruling Class, Under the Volcano, Mountains of the Moon, and King and Country. He had roles in television productions as well. Included were performances in Pygmalion, The Sword of Honour, A Dance to the Music of Time, and The First Churchills.

WALSH ,J.T. 1943(?H998 OBITUARY NOTICE—See index for CTf T sketch: Born c. 1943, in San Francisco, CA; died of a heart attack while on vacation, February 27, 1998, near San Diego, CA. Although he didn't get hit with the acting bug until he was in his 30s, Walsh quickly rose to fame as a character actor. Featured in many major movies—such as Hoffa, Tequila Sunrise, Good Morning, Vietnam, A Few Good Men, and Hannah and Her 5/sters—Walsh was often cast as a villain or coward. The Los Angeles Times noted that his "stone face, penetrating gaze and flat voice made him one of America's most menacing character actors/ and
remarked on "his cool, calculating style of escalating insanity." The newspaper also reported that Walsh had been called "the canniest and most invisible actor of the last decade." Before turning to acting, he worked in a series of jobs, including journalist, social worker, teacher, and encyclopedia salesperson. He opted to pursue acting in the 1970s on the stage in productions such as Yucca Flats, Alive and Well in Argentina, and Enter a Free Man. In 1976 he received notice for his performance in David Mamet's American Buffalo, and his work in Glengarry Glen Ross in 1983 was also highly lauded. The later work earned him a Drama Desk Award. The 1980s also saw his film career take off. After a bit part in Eddie Macon's Run, he went on to larger roles in releases such as The Last Seduction, Miracle on 34th Street, Jin Men, Executive Decision, The Grifters, Sling Blade, and Breakdown. Television movies were also added to his resume as he was featured in Little Gloria ... Happy at Last, Windmills of the Gods, and Crime of the Century. He also made appearances on shows such as Dark Skies, Partners, The Equalizer, and M Law. Several films that he appeared in were yet to be released at the time of his death, including The Negotiator and Pleasantville.

David Wood's popular, successful plays focus on the often overlooked audience of children. An actor, director, and writer, Wood is the co-founder of the Whirligig Theatre, a touring company devoted entirely to bringing his plays, as well as the works of others, to children throughout England. Among these plays are those that give a new spin to old tales, including The Gingerbread Man and The Owl and the Pussycat Went to See ..., and those that bring original, new stories to audiences, such as Flibberty and the Penguin and The 5ee-Saw Tree. Wood's "musical plays appeal to children's love of action, movement, colour, and spectacle/ asserts Colin Mills in Twent/eth-Century Children's Writers. And a Plays and Players contributor adds: "It might be said, now that he has cornered the market, that Wood is our first, and only children's dramatist." Wood first began to write seriously while a student at Oxford University; his first play was produced at the Comedy Theatre in 1964 while he was still a student. From that point on, he has written, directed, and acted in several plays, both for children and adults. In addition, Wood writes for television and for films, and has also broken into the children's book market. It is his children's plays, however, for which he is best known. Mills writes that among the reasons for the success of these plays is that "they all have an actor's instinct for their impact, as well as a gifted storyteller's feel for character, plot, and theme."
Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television • Volume 21 The plays that are based on well-known stories, such as Robin Hood and Old Mother Hubbard, are familiar to children, offering a level of comfort. At the same time, though, they "have imaginative and convoluted fun with their sources—and celebrate minor characters," points out Mills. Wood's original plays utilize traditional stock characters like those found in his adaptations—friendly dragons, well-intentioned but bumbling characters, and evil villains—and place them in action-filled adventures that incorporate audience participation. "The original plays are vital and unflagging," maintains Mills, add ing that Wood "is a superb creator of names that capitalise upon children's love of word play: Blotch and Carbon, Kernel Walnut, Herr Von Cuckoo. In his dialogue and songs, he exploits the fun to be had from the topsy-turvy and the illogical." Wood's imaginative children's plays and his work with Whirligig make theatre much more accessible to his young patrons. "The dream was to form a company to tour the shows, one that was not four actors and a hamper, that would sit upon the set that happened to be there," he explains in his Plays and Players interview. "We give a fully staged show, with 60 or 70 lighting cues. My belief is that we've shortchanged children over the years—we've only given them theatre where it has been convenient. The mere phrase 'children's theatre', in this country, has always had a second division tag on it. But these are tomorrow's theatregoers: they deserve more."

OBITUARY NOT/CE-See index for CTf T sketch: Born c. 1926, in Brooklyn, NY; died of lung cancer,
WORTH • 399 April 22,1998, in Los Angeles, CA. Producer, writer. Worth was an award-winning producer who saw success with biographical films on controversial figures, including the comedian Lenny Bruce and activist Malcolm X. He made two films about the civil rights leader, including the 1972 documentary Malcolm X and the 1992 Spike Lee feature film of the same name. Worth had known Malcolm X in his youth and had obtained the rights to the orator's autobiography some twenty-five years before the Lee film was released. The movie earned him an NAACP Image Award, the Chicago Film Critics Award, and a Media Award. Worth had also befriended Lenny Bruce—he had written material for the comedian, as well as for Buddy Hackett and Steve Allen. In 1974 he received an Academy Award nomination and the Grand Prix Award for the biographical film Lenny, starring Dustin Hoffman, which told the story of the comedian's rise to fame and early death. Worth had also brought the story to the stage. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Worth worked as a jazz promoter and manager in his early career. He eventually hooked up with Bruce and became the comedian's manager. Worth teamed with Arne Sultan to write for The Steve Allen Show. The duo also wrote screenplays, including Three on a Couch, Boys' Night Out, and Promise Her Anything. His early producer credits for film include Where's Poppa?, Fire Sale, and The Rose. Worth followed with Less Than Zero; Falling in Love; Patty Hearst; See No Evil, Hear No Evil; and Diabolique. For television, he produced The Jones Boys, Running Mates, Laughs for Sale, Cia, and Norma Jean and Marilyn. He also wrote material for other television series, including The Milton Show, The Colgate Comedy Hour, The Polly Bergen Show, and Get Smart. He was working on the film The yames Dean Story before his death. OBITUARIES AND OTHER SOURCES Books: International Motion Picture Almanac, Quigley, 1997.
