Katherine Lawrence

Katherine "Kathy" Lawrence (December 11, 1954 – March 25, 2004) was a television series screenwriter and a short story science fiction and children's non-fiction educational books and video game writer.

Biography

Lawrence was born Katherine Selbert on December 11, 1954. She chose her writing name because of her love for T. E. Lawrence and Jerome Lawrence. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in the English language from the University of Washington in Seattle and suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome. In 1996, she was nominated for Outstanding Script by the Writers Guild of America for "Icebound", an episode of Hypernauts, a live-action science fiction series.

On March 27, 2004, her body was found at San Pedro River in Arizona, along with a suicide note. Lawrence was 49 years old, and her death was apparently caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her ashes were spread over Mount Lemmon, which was her favorite area.
