From Real Life to Movie Life: MWSC Hosts Award-Winning Journalist

Media Women of South Carolina welcomed its very own Pamela Graham Anderson as guest speaker for its June 13 meeting to discuss her experience acting in the movie “Dear Dictator,” where she played the role of a news anchor. Anderson shared what it was like “acting” in a role that she had spent a good portion of her career actually doing. She also gave MWSC members some behind-the-scenes details of movie making. The meeting was held at the Spartanburg Marriott downtown.

Pamela Graham Anderson is an Emmy award-winning journalist who has interviewed world leaders, including five United States presidents, Hollywood legends, Olympic medalists, New York Times bestselling authors and leading healthcare professionals. In 2016 she officially launched her media-marketing company, Pamela Graham Associates, and is bringing her real-world experience to clients who are serious about wanting a national stage in today's ever-changing world of media.
