Career
During the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, she chose not to accept Financial Core status.
She wrote television pilots for Spelling Television and Universal Pictures (1979-1987), and worked at Sony Pictures Television, Lorimar Television (1988–1989) and Columbia Pictures (1989–1990; A Peaceable Kingdom). While at Universal, Harris was a Writer-Producer-Supervising Producer-Executive Producer on The Incredible Hulk.
Reaction to Wolf's promotion: Karen Harris on her Facebook page: Oh, please. (lol) I have a new lease on life, Jami. But I walked the picket lines with a whole bunch of terrific writers. Garin Wolf quit the WGA so he could scab. This is his reward. I'm sad, because there are others there who are better writers and deserve it more.
WGA West
In September 2008, scribes elected eight new board members to the WGA West. Topping the list of winners were Army Wives writer Katherine Fugate, who received 647 votes. Also elected were John Bowman (629 votes), Howard Michael Gould (619 votes), David A. Goodman (552 votes), Karen Harris (544 votes), Mark Gunn (525 votes), Aaron Mendelsohn (498 votes) and Kathy Kiernan (463 votes). Bowman, Goodman, Gunn, Mendelsohn and Kiernan are incumbents. A total of 1,235 ballots were cast. Indie firm Pacific Election Services counted the votes.
Life in General
Life In General is a web series which debuted on October 28, 2008 on Strike.TV, an internet network created by Hollywood writers during the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike. Life In General is a scripted show set behind-the-scenes at the second longest running soap opera on TV. The companion piece is Greenville General, the soap opera on which they all work.
In the first episode entitled "Out of Control", Courtney is missing, Rod is screwing Maddie, Rachel just found out that her husband cheated on her, and Raymond may have suffered a fatal heart attack. And that's just behind the scenes.
