Welcome to RitaLakin.com
Fate took Rita from New York to Los Angeles where she was seduced by palm trees and movie studios. The next twenty years she wrote for television and had every possible job from free-lance writer to story editor to staff then finally producing. She worked on shows such as Dr. Kildare, Peyton Place, Mod Squad & Dynasty. She created her own shows: The Rookies, Flamingo Road and Nightingales. She wrote many MOW’s (Movie's of the Week) and mini-series such as Death takes A Holiday, Women In Chains, Strong Medicine & Voices of the Heart. She has also written two original theatrical plays, No Language But a Cry and Saturday Night at Grossinger’s (co-authored) which are still being produced. Her many awards include Writers Guild of America, Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Allen Poe and the coveted Avery Hopwood Award from the University of Michigan. She is now back to her first love, writing novels. Rita lives in Marin County, California. |
