Media Bio
Sharon Rosen Leib is an award-winning journalist and author who explores topics focused on antisemitism and the American Jewish experience, California, her family’s Hollywood history, feminism and politics.

Her experiences as a criminal lawyer, journalist, mother of three daughters and fourth-generation Jewish Los Angeleno give her the street cred to tackle these complex subjects with nuance and wisdom.
She is currently writing her first book GHOSTS OF HOLLYWOOD PAST, a narrative nonfiction exploration of the American Jewish Hollywood experience refracted through the prism of four generations of her Wurtzel family.
