Contemporary Theatre, Film and Television (CTFT) is a biographical reference series designed to provide stu￾dents, 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
