Arlene Schulman

Arlene Schulman is a  journalist, book writer, photographer, filmmaker and hater of lima beans and olives. She was born in a tiny hamlet called the Bronx and raised in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn. Ms. Schulman achieved fame early due to her magnetic delivery as the senator from Rhode Island in the Tony award winning musical, 1776.  While seemingly off to a promising career on the stage, her mangled but spirited off-key delivery of one line ended these hopes in the fifth grade. Instead, she focused her inquisitive personality in journalism. With her oeuvre focusing on the human condition, Ms. Schulman has reported on prizefighters, police officers, people and personalities for famous newspapers and magazines. She even won a few awards along the way. Ms. Schulman’s seven published books include The Prizefighters and Cop on the Beat. Somewhat modest and fond of alliteration, she has – no cats.
