Over the past 18 years, Pauline B. Rogers (who also writes under the names Bonnie Goldberg. D. Bonham and Dixie Bonham) has published 1500 plus articles and three books (Contemporary Cinematographers on Their Art, More Contemporary Cinematographers on Their Art, The Art of Visual Effects) on the entertainment industry. Her behind-the-scenes article on the movie industry appear in a variety of publications, including International Photographer Magazine, British Cinematographer, HDVideoPRO and more. One of the acknowledged experts on how movies are made, she often enjoys access to virtually closed sets and has been able to procure interviews with difficult to reach top of the list entertainment professionals.

As a publicist, Ms. Rogers worked the “green room” for Merv Griffin Productions for eight years and has done unit publicity for feature films. She has served as regional representative to four National Writers' Union conventions and is an active member of PEN and The Author's Guild. A long-time member of the WGAw, she has script doctored over a dozen television and made for television projects and created several under her own credit. Several years ago, she was contracted to write a four-hour mini-series back-door-pilot for a New York-based production company. The Easy Way was to be directed by multiple Emmy winner Marvin Chomsky and featured a well-known cast including Michele Phillips, Robert Wagner, Jill St. John, Stefanie Powers, Alex Cord, Doug Sheehan, and Jameson Parker. She has recently adapted a paranormal story for the screen.

A graduate of American International College with a double B.A. in English/​Shakespeare, she worked toward her Master's Degree in Theater at Hunter College and an Associate's Degree in Film at Columbia. A former teacher, her first writing job was at a Madison Avenue advertising agency creating national and international commercials. Before moving to California, Ms. Rogers was the first female rock concert promoter touring with top rock and roll acts.

She is working on her first novel, entitled Hello! Hello! Hello!--about two woman friends who weather the storms of friendship and life, because they have each other to lean on.

At present, she is compiling stories for her fourth non-fiction book, a lighter look at what it is really like to work on a movie set - where pressure breeds creativity and more than a few childish pranks, impossible deadlines, and more than a few Murphy's Law occasions that can do in the best of the best.
