Title: The mommy returns! Female exex finding new ways to juggle kids and
careers. (Life).
Author: Betsy Boyd
When single-mother Sara Risher gave birth to her son Nick in 1984, she figured
things out without the benefit of a role model. Her first rule of baby
business: no breakfast meetings, no after-work networking.
At the time, Risher was head of production and acquisitions for New Line,
making movie deals from her hospital bed, and breaking new ground as a power
mom.
"There weren't many women running things then," Risher says, "It wasn't until
`Murphy Brown' that I felt I had someone I could relate to."
When Nick was born, Risher was working on horror pic "A Nightmare on Elm
Street." In the coming months, she found her tastes in material shifting
toward the less bloody.
"I did want to make less violent films," Risher says. "It's because of my son
that I picked up `(Teenage Mutant) Ninja Turtles.' He was watching it on TV.
And then when the script came in, I said, `Wow, this is hot.'" These days,
Risher owns and runs her own shingle, ChickFlicks.
