Lynn Montgomery edit
LYNN MONTGOMERY is an American writer/producer born in California in 1957. She graduated from Chaffey High School.[1] a year early to attend UCLA[2] where she majored in Political Science. Upon graduating, she spent a year in Paris and Milan where she worked as a fashion model. Her first job as a writer/producer was for Norm Pattiz's[3][4] Westwood One Radio[5] where she produced the nationally syndicated, public affairs, investigative radio show, Spaces and Places, Lifestyles of The 80's, heard on over 100 rock n roll stations around the country. Every week she produced ten two and one half minute segments investigating hard hitting social subjects. She used humor and music to hold the attention of the rock n roll listening audience. Two of the most popular syndicated shows at Westwood One in the 1980s were The Dr Demento Show[6] and Weird Al Yankovic [7]
One of the investigative Spaces and Places series she produced became a cover story for the LA Weekly[8]. "In Sorrow, In Secret"[9] was published October 16, 1980 and was the longest cover story The LA Weekly ever published to date. The story was purchased by Diane Baker[10] and Columbia Pictures[11] and developed for a CBS Movie of The Week. No network had ever dealt with the subject of incest and Lynn's script was never produced.
In 1985 she wrote and produced "Child Abuse, The Day After" for KHJ TV[12] in Los Angeles about the failures of Los Angeles County Child Protective Services[13] to protect abused children. Lynn received a Los Angeles Emmy for best Information Special[14]. It was the first time a television audience was able to see the interior of MacLaren Hall[15][16], an LA County facility used to house thousands of abused and neglected children that was subsequently closed after years of alleged abuse and a lawsuit by the ACLU [17][18][19]
