Roberta Leigh Bücher
Roberta Leigh, die auch unter den Namen Rachel Lindsay, Rozella Lake und Janey Scott veröffentlichte, gehörte zu den ersten Liebesromanautorinnen, die starke, karriereorientierte Heldinnen schufen, die sich nicht vom Helden beherrschen ließen. Neben ihrer literarischen Arbeit besaß Leigh eine Filmgesellschaft, für die sie sieben Fernsehserien für Kinder schrieb und produzierte. Die Musik für ihre Serien steuerte sie oft selbst bei, indem sie die Melodie summte oder sang, woraufhin jemand anderes die Partitur arrangierte. Ihre künstlerische Ader zeigte sich auch in der Malerei, wobei ihre abstrakten Werke in Londoner Galerien ausgestellt wurden.
