Born This Way - Drew Tappon & Jon Murray

Exec/Producer With Noah Pollack

BORN THIS WAY's journey from passed pilot to Emmy gold was years in the making. Produced for A&E by the legendary Jon Murray, AKA the Godfather of the industry, BTW masterfully tackled the tricky subject matter of Down Syndrome with a series that is both incredibly informative AND entertaining.

Overseen by Jon's longtime friend and colleague, Drew Tappon, the story of BTW is one of passion, persistence, good fortune and so much more. I started my career answering Jon's phone and often found Drew on the other end of the line, as he was our network executive at the time for all of our MTV productions. This episode not only marks the end of season 1 for EXEC/PRODUCER, but is also a true full circle moment for me that I hope you'll all enjoy!
