Her first job was as script supervisor for Burt Topper on his debut low-budget film "Hell Squad", which was released in 1958, and her last was as script supervisor for a 1997 episode of the TV series "JAG".

DramaHistoryMusic

This is the story loosely based on Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed, who introduced rock'n'roll to teenage American radio audiences in the 1950s. Freed was a source of great controversy: criticized by conservatives for corrupting youth with the "devil's music"; hated by racists for promoting African American music for white consumption; persecuted by law enforcement officials and finally brought down by the "payola" scandals.
