Women have been battling their way through Hollywood sexism behind the scenes for decades to get us to the point where more women than ever are now making television shows. This week we talk to two heroines of the male-dominated past.
First, Mary Tyler Moore Show writer Susan Silver, whose memoir Hot Pants in Hollywood details her days as a writer on some of the best sitcoms of the 1970s, her mentorship with Garry Marshall, and a jaw-dropping TV Guide profile on her headlined “The Writer Wore Hotpants.”
Then, we chat with Emmy and Golden Globe-winning writer and Blue Bloods co-creator Robin Green, whose fantastic memoir The Only Girl traces her career from being the only woman on staff at Rolling Stone magazine in the ‘70s to being the only woman writing for The Sopranos in the 2000s.
