Royana Black was perhaps the loveliest young actor I recall from my early days as a writer/producer.  Royana was the teenage star of “Raising Miranda” and gracefully and powerfully held her own with legendary costars Bryan Cranston, James Naughton, Steve Vinovich, and Pam Myers, not to mention the show’s brilliant creator Jane Anderson. Royana blessed us again on “Touched…” and we have never forgotten her generous presence. Nor shall we ever. #royanablack #broadway #touchedbyanangel #cbs #LLS #raisingmiranda

I met my hero Carl Reiner in a sushi bar on Sunset and Gower many years ago. I thanked him for his movie “The Man With Two Brains” and for his message that what is truly beautiful is on the inside – a hard thing to hold onto as the only (and very overweight) woman in the writer’s room of a sitcom in production next door.  He took my hand and said “my dear, you are absolutely beautiful inside and out. And funny, too!”  That was the day I stopped being “the girl in the room” and for the first time ever, fully and confidently claimed my seat at the writer’s table. Thank you, Mr. Reiner. May you rest in joy and laughter.

Just sent the next Signed, Sealed, Delivered script to Hallmark!  We’ll keep you POsted!!
