She served as co-executive producer on the CW series Gilmore Girls and as a writer on Freaks and Geeks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Las Vegas. She lives in Los Angeles, California. In 2009, Sinclair signed a deal with CBS productions to stay on board as showrunner of 90210 until its third season in 2011.
In March 2011, Sinclair announced her plans to exit 90210 in order to follow other creative interests. According to a CBS rep, Sinclair leaves on good terms with the studio, who brought in Sinclair as a saving force for the CW drama in its first season. Variety cites Sinclair's exit as a positive step forward for both Sinclair and female executives in Hollywood: ""90210's" Sinclair recently announced her intent to bow out of the show after this season to pursue other passions, like penning a novel. But the experience gained in her time at the helm will enhance her career no matter what she chooses to do next.".
She is the daughter of Harvard University astrophysics professor Robert Kirshner and the great-granddaughter of William Rand.
She married New Zealand filmmaker and musician Harry Sinclair in December 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word rand:
“Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.”
