Karin Sterling Anderson

An in-demand Script Coordinator in the film business, Karin's first job was working with Elaine May on her rewrite for Jerry Bruckheimer's "Dangerous Minds" and she continues to work on Bruckheimer films.

She started with director Tony Scott on "Crimson Tide" when he hired Quentin Tarantino for a rewrite and continues to work with Tony today.

She has written humorous articles about her life and work in Los Angeles that have been published in "Emmy," "Shape," "Sail" and "Los Angeles" magazines.

In 1999, Karin took a year-off to learn how to sail in celebration of her 40th birthday in 2000. She was featured in "Working Woman," "Sports for Women" and "Sail" magazines.

On TV, she appeared in an "Amazing Women" profile for a nationally aired series and also an ABC affiliate profile "Living Your Dream."

She lived and worked on her sailboat with her dog Gator until she met her husband, John, using the screen name "TrueBlueFemme."

Beth Roberts

As an Executive Vice President of Business Affairs for NBC Universal Television, Beth negotiates deals with all of the major production studios for shows including "West Wing," "Medium," "ER," "Monk," "Battlestar Galactica," "Scrubs," "Fear Factor," "The Apprentice," "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," to name a few.

Beth speaks around town on entertainment issues in addition to her annual course at UCLA Extension, "Business Affairs for Television." She also contributes to an entertainment course at USC Annenberg School for Communication.

As a young lawyer, Beth practiced commercial real estate law in New York City, at a 250-attorney law firm. Inspired by Beryl Markham's "West with the Night," she made a radical decision: She quit her job to travel the world.

Beth spent a full year backpacking solo in New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Singapore, India, England, Wales, and Scotland. Battling leeches, tigers and would-be lotharios made a career change seem like child's play. On her return Beth moved to Los Angeles to join the entertainment industry.

Ten years later, she was practicing business affairs at NBC, but found meeting her mate a challenge. Like many women, Beth was mortified at the thought of posting an ad and spent years as an online dating voyeur. Having analyzed hundreds of ads by the time she posted her own ad at age 40, Beth created an honest and revealing statement about herself, and the idea for the list, ABOUT THE ADS, was born. She met with 5 men; the fifth is now her husband, Warren.
