The Executive Producer In Action

How Can a 21-Year-Old Be an Executive Producer?

Easy: by wanting to be one for the longest time. Producing is definitely one of my strengths: I love to multi-task, manage, delegate, create and stick to deadlines, and effectively communicate. I also enjoy being creative and working with others.


One day, I want to write and produce my own sitcom. If I could learn how to be a competent director, I'd do that as well. I love comedy because I love making people laugh and enabling them to poke fun of their own idiosyncrasies; Lord knows I have a lot of them! I also dream of working with my classmates because I had the chance to work with some of the most talented casting directors, technical directors, writers, producers, stage managers, audio, and post-production personnel. At the same time, I am awed by the professionals who work out in Hollywood and hope to meet and work with some of the industry's best people.


I'm ready to take charge and conquer the world of television. Hollywood, here I come!

Rue McClanahan Died Today

I recently read the sad news: Rue McClanahan, better known as Blanche Devereaux on "The Golden Girls," died this morning from a massive stroke. It's really sad because Estelle, Bea, and Rue all died within a year of each other. Thankfully, Betty White is still going strong and will continue to remain in good health. I hope we can get her to host the Oscars next year!

Rue acted in a lot of programs, including "All in the Family" and "Mama's Family." A few days ago, I caught an episode in which she played Grandma Irene on "Charles in Charge." Rue displayed a charm when she acted, and she clearly had a presence on screen and on stage (you should check out a clip of her performing "Nunsense" in 1996; it's on YouTube).

RIP, Rue! I'll be holding a "Golden Girls" marathon this weekend to celebrate your wonderful life!
