Screenwriter, author, and actor Roxanne Beck Raye took the scenic route from Arkansas to LA, making detours in Nashville and New York. There she performed with countless bands, recorded two albums and accumulated a long list of music and animation voiceover credits. But her love of movies and storytelling inspired her to move to Hollywood, where an Oscar®-winning producer optioned her first script.
Credits include "Miss Famous" starring Kristen Wiig, as well as uncredited rewrites for major studios and production companies. Her TV drama script "The Queen of Magic," based on the true story of the most successful woman magician of the 20th century, received a '9' rating on The Black List and is currently available. A graduate of UCLA’s MFA in Screenwriting program and a Humanitas Drama Fellowship nominee, Roxanne’s writing tends to focus on women who refuse to be silenced and underdogs who never give up. She lives in Sherman Oaks with her wonderful dogs Dolly and Lucky.
