Yvette Denise Lee Bowser (born June 9, 1965) is an American television writer and producer. She is perhaps best known for writing and producing ''Half & Half'', ''Living Single'', and ''A Different World''. With ''Living Single,'' she became the first African-American woman to develop her own prime-time series.〔Gregory, Deborah. ("Yvette Lee Bowser: the sister who took 'Living Single' straight to the top! - African American television producer," ) ''Essence'', Dec. 1994〕 While still working as Yvette Denise Lee, Bowser started on ''A Different World'' in 1987 as one of a number of apprentices, rising in prominence in the production company over the years and eventually becoming producer by the 1991-92 season.〔Brown, Malaika. (Sisterhood televised: Yvette Lee Bowser and the voices she listens to - creator and executive producer of the TV show, 'Living Single,' ) ''American Visions'', April–May, 1995〕 She left that show to take a position with ''Hangin' with Mr. Cooper''. Bowser created her own company, Sister Lee Productions, which produced or co-produced her later shows, ''Living Single'' and ''Half & Half''. She has said in various interviews that she draws many of her characters and plots from personal experiences: "I just basically rip pages out of my diary to tell stories on TV." In the case of ''Half & Half'', for example, the writer based the characters Mona and Dee-Dee on herself and an older half-sister, and plot ideas came from her experience as the youngest child in a blended family.〔Walker, Nicole. (Two sisters, two different moms—TV's 'half & half' takes a fresh look at the blended black family ) (cover story), ''Jet'', March 15, 2004〕 Yvette Denise Lee married producer Kyle Bowser in 1994. The two worked together on ''Living Single'', ''Half & Half'', and ''For Your Love''.〔Holmes, Kristin E.(The Bible's fresh voice ), ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', Nov. 4, 2006〕 She graduated from Santa Monica High School in 1983 where she attended with Holly Robinson, who was a part of the Hangin' with Mr. Cooper cast, then attended Stanford University where, in 1986, she pledged the Xi Beta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yvette Lee Bowser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
