Who’s Who
JOHN LITHGOW is an actor with a broad range of interests and talents in every area of the entertainment industry — and even outside it. He has been working in show business since the early 70s, and has achieved stunning success in wildly varied ventures. A list of his restless pursuits strains credulity.

At heart, Lithgow is a theatre actor. Theatre is where he started, and he started big. In 1973, he won a Tony Award three weeks after his Broadway debut, in David Storey’s The Changing Room. Since then, he has appeared on Broadway 19 more times, earning another Tony, three more Tony nominations, four Drama Desk Awards, and induction into the Theater Hall of Fame. Lithgow was recently seen off-Broadway alongside Jennifer Ehle in Mr. & Mrs. Fitch, Douglas Carter Beane’s new play about a husband and wife team of gossip columnists which is a scathing look at who is in, who is out, and who may not even exist at all. His other stage performances have included major roles in My Fat Friend, Trelawny of the ’Wells’, Comedians, Anna Christie, Bedroom Farce, Beyond Therapy, M. Butterfly, The Front Page, The Retreat from Moscow, Mrs. Farnsworth, and the musicals Sweet Smell of Success (his second Tony) and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. In 2007 he was one of the very few American actors ever invited to join The Royal Shakespeare Company, playing Malvolio in Twelfth Night at Stratford-upon-Avon. And Lithgow’s most recent appearance on Broadway was in the revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons alongside Dianne Wiest, Patrick Wilson and Katie Holmes. In the early 1980s Lithgow began to make a major mark in films. At that time, he was nominated for Oscars in back-to-back years, for The World According to Garp and Terms of Endearment. In the years before and after, he has appeared in over 30 films.

Notable among them have been All That Jazz, Blow Out, Twilight Zone: the Movie, Footloose, 2010, Buckaroo Banzai, Harry and the Hendersons, Memphis Belle, Raising Cain, Ricochet, Cliffhanger, Orange County, Shrek, Kinsey and a flashy cameo in Dreamgirls. For his work on television, Lithgow has been nominated for 11 Emmy Awards. He has won five of them, one for an episode of Amazing Stories, and three for what is perhaps his most celebrated creation. This was the loopy character of the alien High Commander, Dick Solomon, on the hit NBC comedy series 3rd Rock from the Sun. In that show’s six-year run, Lithgow also won the Golden Globe, two SAG Awards, The American Comedy Award, and, when it finally went off the air, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He recently found new success in television drama with his 12-episode arc on Showtime’s Dexter playing Arthur Mitchell the Trinity Killer. For his work on Dexter Lithgow received the Golden Globe and Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series, the Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series and he was nominated along with rest of the cast for the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. His other major appearances on television have included roles in The Day After, Resting Place, Baby Girl Scott, My Brother’s Keeper, TNT’s Don Quixote and HBO’s The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. And then there is Lithgow’s work for children. Since 1998 he has written seven N.Y. Times best-selling children’s picture books, including The Remarkable Farkle McBride, Marsupial Sue, Micawber and I’m a Manatee. In addition, he has created two Lithgow Palooza activity books for parents and children, Lithgow Palooza Readers for use in elementary schools, and the The Poets’ Corner for Warner Books, a compilation of 50 classic poems aimed at young people, to stir an early
interest in poetry. All of this work has won him two Parents’ Choice Silver Honor Awards, and four Grammy Award nominations. He sings, too. Lithgow has performed concerts for children with the Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Baltimore and San Diego Symphonies, and at Carnegie Hall with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. He has released three kids’ albums, Singin’ in the Bathtub, Farkle & Friends and the Grammy-nominated The Sunny Side of the Street, released by Razor & Tie Records. All of these concerts and albums have included several of his own songs and rhyming narrations. And then there is the ballet. In 2003, the noted choreographer Christopher Wheeldon invited Lithgow to collaborate with him on a new piece for the New York City Ballet. The result was Carnival of the Animals, a ballet for 50 dancers, with music by Camille Saint-Saens and with Lithgow’s verse narration. Lithgow himself spoke the narration from the stage. At a certain point he ducked into the wings, climbed into costume, and re-emerged to dance the role of The Elephant. He has performed this feat over 20 times. The project also spawned another award-winning children’s book, Carnival of the Animals, and another Grammy-nominated CD. John Lithgow was born in Rochester, New York, but grew up in Ohio, graduated from high school in Princeton, New Jersey, attended Harvard College, and used a Fulbright Grant to study at the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art. He was honored by Harvard with an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in 2005, and, at that time, was invited to deliver the school’s Commencement Address. He concluded his address with a new children’s book, written for the occasion and dedicated to Harvard’s Class of ’05. The book, Mahalia Mouse Goes to College, is intended to instill an interest in higher education in
very small children. Lithgow has three grown children, a granddaughter, and lives in Los Angles with his wife, Mary, a professor of Economic and Business History at UCLA. P.G. WODEHOUSE (1881 – 1975). Perham Grenville Wodehouse was born in Guildford, Surrey, was educated at Dulwich College, London, and worked for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank before starting to earn his living as a journalist and writer. His first novel was published in 1902, and he went on to write over 120 more, many involving Bertie Wooster and his butler Jeeves, and favorite characters like Lord Emsworth (and his prize sow, The Empress of Blandings), Aunt Dahlia, Psmith and others. Wodehouse also had success in musical comedy (he worked with Cole Porter on Anything Goes, and wrote the hit song “Bill” from Jerome Kern's Showboat), the theatre and Hollywood. He became a U.S. citizen in 1955. The short story “Uncle Fred Flits By,” was first published in the U.S. in Redbook in July 1935; and in the UK that December in the Strand. It was included in the collection Young Men in Spats, 1936. RING LARDNER (1885 – 1933) was born in Michigan. He was a successful sports writer and newspaper columnist in Chicago, St. Louis and New York, and drew on his sporting background in his first collection of stories, You Know Me AI: A Busher's Letters, 1916. His other story collections include Gullible's Travels, 1917, Treat 'Em Rough, 1918, The Love Nest, 1926, and First and Last, 1936. His only novel, The Big Town, was published in 1921. He also wrote a satirical pseudo-autobiography The Story of a Wonder Man, 1927, and a musical comedy, June Moon, 1929. “Haircut” was published in 1925. ERIC CORNWELL (Lighting Design, Production Management) has created lighting for Patti LuPone, Eli Wallach, Mandy Patinkin and Anne Jackson, and dozens of dance, opera, and theatre
