LARRY MOLLIN has been a Producer and Writer for Television and Film for the last thirty years. He’s best known for his work on BEVERLY HILLS, 90210 for which he wrote, produced and executive produced one-hundred twenty-eight hours from 1993-1998, the zenith of the show’s popularity. From New York originally, he immigrated to Canada with family in 1969 and quickly became a dynamic contributor to the Canadian theatre world as an actor, playwright and artistic director of the Homemade Theatre Company of Toronto, a seminal performance group of the 1970’s. Besides writing for stage, screen and television, Larry is a published poet and lyricist. He first fell in love with the island as a member of the summer stock company, The Vineyard Players in 1966. Larry wishes to especially thank Dee Mollin, Robert Brustein, MJ Munafo, Pam Putney, Roz Glazer, Sharon Bialy, Hecht biographer, William MacAdams, and Helen Long of the Newberry Library’s Hecht Archives.
