J. F. Lawton - Television

Television

He created and executive produced the Sony Pictures Entertainment hit syndicated show V.I.P. (standing for, and also referred to as, Vallery Irons Protection) through a successful four year run.

The series starred Pamela Anderson as Vallery Irons, a small-town girl who comes to Southern California looking for a break when she stumbles into the glamorous role of heading up a Beverly Hills bodyguard agency.

Blending action and humor in a fast-paced adventure series, with Anderson often poking fun at her tabloid image, the show explored the world of the exciting and sometimes treacherous lives of the rich and famous. In November 2001, V.I.P. (the video game) was released on the PlayStation console.

    Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world.
    Clive James (b. 1939)

    It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.
    Marie Winn (20th century)
