THE HOLLYWOOD NETWORKING BREAKFAST® --
14TH ANNIVERSARY -- THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2006

GUEST SPEAKER: LYNDA OBST, PRODUCER & BEST SELLING AUTHOR & FOUNDER OF LYNDA OBST PRODUCTIONS

Credits include: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Siege, Sleepless in Seattle, One Fine Day, Someone Like You, Clue, Risky Business, The Fisher King, Contact, After Hours, Flashdance, Adventures in Babysitting, Heartbreak Hotel, etc.

Lynda Obst Obst, producer and best-selling author, is renowned for having produced or been involved in big box office hits and some of Hollywood’s most memorable movies. She has worked with sought-after A-List talent and filmmakers in Tinseltown and is held in the highest esteem of her peers – an honor that most only dream of. Through Lynda Obst Productions (www.lyndaobst.com),  the feature film production company she helms, Lynda has had lucrative deals with top movie studios, including a current first-look deal with Paramount Pictures.

In the works are Sydney to Hobart, written by Ken Nolan, based on "The Proving Ground" by G. Bruce Knecht - the true story of the harrowing 1998 yacht race of the same name that was struck by a storm with hurricane force winds, leading to the death of six competitors, and the daring helicopter rescues of many more. The Untitled Dover Project, written by Ron Nyswaner, based on the recent Dover, PA "monkey trial," where a quiet rural town was torn apart over the culture-war issue of evolution versus "intelligent design", a contemporary "Inherit the Wind".

For the past 20 years, Lynda Obst Productions has nurtured over a dozen film projects from the early development and writing stages, through principal photography, post-production, and finally to theatrical release at Paramount, Fox and Columbia Pictures.

Lynda’s non-fiction book: Hello He Lied: And Other Truths from the Hollywood Trenches debuted at #1 on the LA Times Best Seller list.

Lynda Obst grew up in suburban New York and graduated from Pomona College in 1972.
