United States, Author July 28, 1956
Carol Higgins Clark is an American mystery author and actress. She is the daughter of suspense writer Mary Higgins Clark, with whom she has co-authored several Christmas novels, and the former sister-in-law of author Mary Jane Clark.
A writer is always observant, of course... You can take the kernel of something - part of it - and use it in a book.
The acting background helped a lot when I started writing. I was training for it. In acting class they teach you about the stakes in a scene (and) what motivates characters. When you bring a scene to class - as an actor with your scene partner - you have to do everything. There's no producer, set decorator or anything like that. You and you partner have to do everything and that's kind of like facing the blank page as a writer.
I think people are tired of the CSI/SVU style of lurid and gory crime dramas. I believe there's a craving for lighter shows featuring detective characters who are fun to watch. I think people would welcome that kind of show.
