Jamie Tarses (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jamie Tarses (born 1964) was head of ABC's entertainment division from 1996 to 1999, the first woman and one of the youngest people to hold such a post in an American broadcast network. She is the daughter of television writer Jay Tarses. Amanda Peet, who played Jordan McDeere, the head of fictional network NBS on NBC show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, has said that her character was "loosely based" on Tarses. A rough draft of the script for Studio 60 had Amanda Peet's character named "Jamie."
