  • This Is a Test
    ‘SMART COOKIES’ PRODUCTION BIOS LINDA KENT (Executive Producer) – Linda Kent started her career in the art world, beginning with an internship at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, followed by positions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and finally as the Corporate Art Curator for Atlantic Richfield Oil. In 1978, Kent made a career change and began anew at Lorimar Television as an assistant to the VP of movies and mini-series. After two and half years there, she ran her own business, The Research Dept, providing research services to journalists, screenwriters, and authors. In 1984, Kent joined NBC as publicity coordinator for movies and mini-series. That experience led to a position as director of development for Gross-Weston Productions and, in turn, to a similar position with Fries Entertainment. In 1986 Linda joined Jack Grossbart as his vice president of development. By 1989, the company grew to include Joan Barnett as partner. For the next 15 years the company succeeded in producing 30 plus movies for television for all the major networks and cable channels, with subject matter that often focused on hard-hitting issues and reality based stories, including “The Preppie Murder,” “Something to Live For: The Alison Gertz Story,” “Any Mother’s Son,” “In the Blink of an Eye,” “Unforgivable,” “Last Wish,” “Comrades of Summer” and “Echoes in the Darnkess.” Kent and Grossbart became partners upon Barnett’s retirement in 2004, forming Grossbart Kent Productions. They have since produced “Heartless” for CBS and received a 2007 Emmy® nomination for the Lifetime movie “Why I Wore Lipstick To My Mastectomy,” based on Geralyn Lucas’s life story.
