Author, screenwriter, national treasure.
Sad to hear of her passing as I've been reading A Summery Saturday Morning to my young daughter a lot recently. I used to own her VHS copy of Akira which she sold at a charity auction during a SciFi Convention in Christchurch, New Zealand. She heartily recommended the film and was very enthusiastic about talking to folks there about storytelling of all kinds which I thought was rather cool.
Her work appeared on TV in:
Overseas Productions
Aliens in the Family (1987)
Dramarama [The Horrible Story] (1987)
Playbus (The Princess and the Clown & Thunderstorms and Rainbows)
