Emily Schulman

A thirty-year veteran of the entertainment world, Emily (Schulman) Webster found her earliest success in front of the camera.  As a child actress she appeared in over 200 commercials before being cast in the early FOX hit Small Wonder.  A five year run on that series catapulted her career:  leading to two Youth in Film Awards, five nominations, and starring roles in such films as Troop Beverly Hills and Caddie Woodlawn.  Her final project as an actress, the Emmy award winning Christy on CBS, found her working alongside such highly respected talent as Tyne Daly and Tess Harper.

Retired from the trade at the grand age of 17, Emily decided to shift her focus to the other side of the camera.  After attending Bennington College in Vermont, and the American Musical Dramatic Academy in NY, she took her first assistant position at Cunningham, Escott, Dipini and then carried over to Schiffman, Ekman, Morrison and Mann (SEMM) in New York City.  Upon returning to Los Angeles, Emily worked for Abrams Artists, before establishing her own commercial department at Acme Talent & Literary.  Fifteen years later, she transitioned her highly respected division to TalentWorks LA, before relocating her family to the Connecticut shoreline.
