Lee Livingston knows how to tell a story. He began writing ad copy for McCann-Erickson right out of college and eventually rose through the creative ranks there. After a successful run in the ad business, he launched his own film company in 1980 and told stories with pictures for the next 40 years. And he was very good at that, too.
Born in 1943 in Los Angeles, he grew up in Cleveland Ohio. His father was a senior executive with Bechtel and his mother was, not surprisingly, a writer with published articles in Redbook and Ladies Home Journal, among others.
