PJ McIlvaine isn't a dude, doesn't live in California, and is old enough to vividly remember the day JFK was shot. She's been writing since she was in diapers and against all odds has managed to get two scripts produced: the Emmy nominated, Showtime family film MY HORRIBLE YEAR starring Eric Stoltz, Mimi Rogers and Karen Allen, and an offbeat holiday family comedy THE TOWN THAT BANNED CHRISTMAS) with Hunter Gomez, Matt McCoy, Jane Sibbett, Christa B. Allen and Carol Alt (DVD). PJ can be reached at pmcilvaine@aol.com or pjmac56@yahoo.com.
