My Pilot is ready for production

20 years ago I wrote a Pilot called "Hatcher's Way," then changed it to "The D.P.O.'s".  Deputy Probation Officers.  I worked at San Diego County probation department and saw many stories that I have brought to life in this series, without citing any names. 

I originally wrote it with Billie Dee Williams as the leading character, and he would have been perfect at age 60, but now at almost 80 I doubt he would be interested.  I have been looking at other black actors in their 50's to 60's but there are few, but of course it only takes one.

I have had interest from one of the networks 20 years ago, so I feel confident I will get this project produced this year or the beginning of next.

If you know of a black actor in the age range of today's needs, please contact me at mslindaroberts@yahoo.com.

Rock the Oscars

Chris Rock spent various parts of the Oscar ranting on why some black projects weren't included, yet never mentioned any of them.  First, his monologue was 24 minutes long, all bashing white people for not including black items.  Then, throughout the show there were other people who mentioned it too.  We don't ever go to the black award shows and talk about why there weren't any white people nominated.  It was way out of place.

What are the black pictures that were not included?  Obviously the academy didn't think any of those were worthy of being nominated and of course you know it's only their opinion, but the consensus must have been unanimous as none were chosen.

You don't see Asians making fools of themselves, or Indians so why the blacks?  Does anybody know?
