I was saddened to hear of the passing of Diana Kerew, a talented and trailblazing television producer. Kerew, who achieved great success in the male-dominated entertainment industry, served as an inspiration and mentor to many aspiring female producers. She leaves behind a remarkable legacy of more than 60 movies and miniseries that she executive produced for television.
Kerew's journey in the industry began when she worked as a reader for David Susskind's Talent Associates. She made history by becoming the first female producer at the company. Later on, she joined Time-Life Television as an executive producer, where she contributed to the creation of 16 films and miniseries.
