In addition to handling the financial side of History vs. Hollywood, Debbie is in charge of curating our list of upcoming movies and TV series based on true stories.
Essentially, she monitors upcoming releases to determine which were inspired by real-life events. Needless to say, she spends a lot of time watching movie trailers and reading trade publications.
Debbie has been part of the History vs. Hollywood crew since 2018. When she's not in the office, she enjoys working out, spending time with her family, and burying her toes in the sand on
a beach somewhere. Her guilty pleasures are Survivor and pączki (when they're in season).
