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 144 entries in CTFT 101, the series now provides biographies on approximately 26,824 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. Additionally, the editors of CTFT maintain regular contact with industry advisors and professionals who routinely suggest new candidates for inclusion in the series. Entries are compiled from published biographical sources which are believed to be reliable, but have not been verified for this edition by the listee or their agents.
Revised Entries To ensure CTFT’s timeliness and comprehensiveness, entries from previous volumes, as well as from Gale’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.
•
PERSONAL: full or original name; dates and places of birth and death; family data; colleges attended, degrees earned, and professional training; political and religious affiliations when known; avocational interests.
•
ADDRESSES: home, office, agent, publicist and/or manager addresses. vii
•
CAREER: tagline indicating principal areas of entertainment work; resume of career positions and other vocational achievements; military service.
•
MEMBER: memberships and offices held in professional, union, civic, and social organizations.
•
AWARDS, HONORS: theatre, film, and television awards and nominations; literary and civic awards; honorary degrees.
•
CREDITS: comprehensive title-by-title listings of theatre, film, and television appearance and work credits, including roles and production data as well as debut and genre information.
•
RECORDINGS: album, single song, video, and taped reading releases; recording labels and dates when available.
•
WRITINGS: title-by-title listing of plays, screenplays, scripts, and musical compositions along with production information; books, including autobiographies, and other publications.
•
ADAPTATIONS: a list of films, plays, and other media which have been adapted from the listee’s work.
•
SIDELIGHTS: favorite roles; portions of agent-prepared biographies or personal statements from the listee when available.
•
OTHER SOURCES: books, periodicals, and internet sites where interviews or feature stories can be found.
Access Thousands of Entries Using CTFT’s Cumulative Index Each volume of CTFT contains a cumulative index to the entire series. As an added feature, this index also includes references to all seventeen editions of Who’s Who in the Theatre and to the four-volume compilation Who Was Who in the Theatre.

Casting director for films and television programs featuring voice actors. Teacher of voiceover acting. Appeared at conventions.
Original name, Joseph Abraham Gottlieb; born February 3, 1918, in Bronx, NY; died October 17, 2007, in Newport, CA. Comedian, actor, and television host. A quick-witted comic with a penchant for adlibbing, Joey Bishop rose to stardom in the early 1960s as a member of Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack, a group of entertainers that also included Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Peter Lawford. Drawn to performance from an early age, Bishop dropped out of high school to join a three-man music and comedy act called the Bishop Brothers, which disbanded when the members were drafted to serve in World War II. Following the war, Bishop began to make a name for himself as a solo comedian, working the nightclubs and appearing on television shows such as What’s My Line? By 1960 Bishop was part of the Rat Pack sensation, headlining Las Vegas nightclubs and starring in the movie Ocean’s Eleven. In 1962 the Rat Pack filmed another movie, Sergeants 3. In addition to his films with the Rat Pack, Bishop also appeared in The Naked and the Dead, Valley of the Dolls, and The Delta Force. In 1961 Bishop launched a television sitcom called The Joey Bishop Show, which ran for three years on NBC. It moved to CBS in 1964 and was canceled the following year. On ABC in 1967, Bishop debuted a late-night talk show version of The Joey Bishop Show. In the 1970s Bishop returned to the nightclub circuit and continued to make guest appearances on TV variety shows, also standing in regularly for Johnny Carson as host on The Tonight Show. In 1981 he filled in for Mickey Rooney for four weeks in a Broadway production titled Sugar Babies. A biography of Bishop, Mouse in the Rat Pack, was written by Michael Seth Starr and published in 2002.

Original name, Walter Edmiston; born February 6, 1925, in St. Louis, MO; died of complications from cancer, February 15, 2007, in Woodland Hills, CA. Actor and voice artist. The multitalented voice and character actor Edmiston enjoyed a long and prolific career. Born in St. Louis, MO, Edmiston discovered his gift for voice impersonations at an early age. In 1947 he moved to Los Angeles to study acting at the Pasadena Playhouse. He then got his start doing various voices for the children’s television puppet show Time for Beany. In the 1950s and early 1960s Edmiston hosted The Walker Edmiston Show, a children’s show with his own puppets, which aired on Los Angeles local television. In the 1960s and 1970s he did voice work for a number of children’s shows created by Sid and Marty Krofft, including The Bugaloos, H. R. Pufnstuf, and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. In the 1980s Edmiston did voices for cartoon shows such as Spiderman, The Smurfs, and Transformers. He also worked in radio, playing the roles of Tom Riley and Bart Rathbone on the popular program Adventures in Odyssey from 1987 to 2007. As a screen actor, Edmiston played incidental characters in dozens of episodic television shows, such as Thriller, Green Acres, The Wild Wild West, Bonanza, Mission: Impossible, Barnaby Jones, Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, Hart to Hart, and Dallas. Perhaps his most recognizable role was as the voice of Ernie, the head elf in the animated Keebler cookie commercials.

In 1974 CMA merged with International Famous Agency, creating International Creative Management (ICM), which now ranks among the most powerful talent agencies in the world. Soon after the merger, Fields left ICM to pursue an independent production deal at Paramount Pictures. In the 1980s he held a number of high-level executive positions at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). Fields’s film production credits include Lipstick, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, American Gigolo, Crimes of the Heart, and Glory. In the late 1980s Fields turned his attention to television, becoming the executive producer of Naked Hollywood and The Montel Williams Show.

FIELDS, Freddie 1923–2007 (Fred Feldman) PERSONAL Original name, Fred Feldman; born July 12, 1923, in Ferndale, NY; died of lung cancer, December 11, 2007, in Beverly Hills, CA. Agent, producer, and studio executive. Legendary talent agent Fields was known for his sharp deal-making instincts as well as his personal charm. Fields began his entertainment career in 1943 with Abbe Greshler, a small New York booking agency, where he helped sign such big name clients as Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Three years later he moved to Music Corporation of America (MCA), a prominent Hollywood talent agency, where he developed his dealmaking style and worked his way up to become a top agent. Fields’s clients at MCA included Judy Garland, Henry Fonda, and Paul Newman. In 1960 Fields and David Begelman cofounded a new agency, Creative Management Associates (CMA). There Fields established himself as one of the most influential agents in Hollywood, representing such talents as Fred Astaire, Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, Sidney Poitier, Jack Nicholson, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola. In 1969, in conjunction with clients Newman, Streisand, and Poitier, Fields also conceived and founded First Artists, a cooperative independent production company that retained ownership of the movies it produced, giving actors more creative control over their work and paying them a percentage of box office earnings in lieu of sizable upfront fees. Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman joined the company in the early 1970s. First Artists produced about eighteen films, including The Life and Times of

Original name, Milton Greenwald; born August 12, 1919, in Brooklyn, NY; died of cancer, December 23, 2007, in Los Angeles, CA. Choreographer. Innovative choreographer Kidd created some of the liveliest and most memorable dance numbers ever performed in Broadway and Hollywood musicals. Perhaps his signature film work is the barn-raising sequence in the 1954 film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Kidd studied modern dance in high school and received a scholarship to attend the School of American Ballet in New York City in 1937. In the early 1940s he became a soloist, adopting the name Michael Kidd and performing with a number of New York companies, including American Ballet Theatre. It was with this company that he began to experiment with choreography. Kidd received his first Broadway choreography credit—and won his first Antoinette Perry Award—for his work on Finian’s Rainbow in 1947. Later he received four more Antoinette Perry Awards for Guys and Dolls, Can-Can, Li’l Abner, and Destry Rides Again. The first Hollywood film Kidd choreographed was the 1952 movie Where’s Charley, an adaptation of the hit Broadway musical of the same title. His first big Hollywood success came the following year with The Band Wagon, which starred Fred Astaire. In the late 1960s he also choreographed such films as Star! and Hello Dolly!

LEA, Ron (Ron Lee)
PERSONAL
PERSONAL
Original name, Charles Gerstle Levison; born January 26, 1905, in San Francisco, CA; died July 9, 2007, in Santa Monica, CA. Actor. Lane was a memorable character actor who appeared in hundreds of films and television shows over the course of six decades. Born in San Francisco, he began his career as an insurance salesman but decided to give acting a try at the urging of a friend. After a brief stint as a member of the Pasadena Playhouse, he moved on to Hollywood, making his first film appearance in 1931 as a hotel desk clerk in Smart Money, which starred Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney. With his distinctively thin, scowling face, Lane was soon typecast as a coldhearted curmudgeon, a role he excelled at but never transcended. Lane did his most extensive film work during the 1930s and 1940s, appearing in 23 films in 1933 alone. Director Frank Capra cast him in several of his films, including as a gangster in Broadway Bill, a lawyer in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, a tax collector in You Can’t Take it With You, a newspaper reporter in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and a rent collector in It’s a Wonderful Life. Beginning in the 1950s Lane also became a familiar face on television, making guest appearances in such shows as I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone, Bewitched, and The Munsters. Lane also held regular roles as a deceitful landlord in The Beverly Hillbillies and as a tight-fisted railroad executive in Petticoat Junction. He earned his last acting credit at the age of ninety for his appearance in the television remake of the 1970 Disney film The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

PANZER
Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television • Volume 101 18, 2007, in Boise, ID. Producer. Panzer is best known for producing the Highlander fantasy films, which have achieved international cult status. Raised in Flushing, New York, he attended Princeton University and then graduated from the film school at New York University in the late 1960s. After producing commercials in New York for several years, in 1976 Panzer moved to Hollywood, where he teamed up with Peter Davis, establishing Davis-Panzer Productions. The company produced more than 20 films, beginning with The Death Collector, a New Jersey mafia movie starring Joe Pesci. Also notable among the company’s production credits are Stunts, The Osterman Weekend (directed by Sam Peckinpah), and Freeway. Panzer and Davis scored their biggest success with Highlander, the story of Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scottish warrior who is embroiled in a centuries-long death match. Released in 1986 and starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, the original Highlander film fared poorly at American box offices, but it was popular in Europe and gained a sizable U.S. following after it was released on video. Four sequels followed, and the franchise spun off three television series (one of which was animated), a video game, and an array of licensed merchandise. Panzer, who also contributed to three of the Highlander screenplays, was a regular presence at Highlander conventions around the world. An animated film, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance, was released in June 2007, shortly after his death.
