Jane Anderson
An award-winning, openly lesbian writer, Jane Anderson first garnered attention for her pungent and wittily observed teleplay for the 1993 HBO original "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom." Her script depicted the scrambling by American TV networks for the rights to the story and the aftermath of the crime yet never lost sight of the humanity of the individuals involved. Her efforts were highly praised (Variety called it a "formidable achievement") and Anderson netted a richly deserved Emmy award.
