Phyllis Tucker Vinson was born in 1948 in Las Angeles, California to a wonderful mom and dad. By 1969 Phyllis was an unwed mother who wanted to take care of her own baby. This was very hard. It was not easy to pay her bills. Phyllis decided to go to school to become a teacher. She also needed to work so she took a job as a secretary at NBC Studios. She found out that she loved her job and got many promotions. By 1979 she had become the director of children's programming. Some of the successful TV show she helped bring to the screen were "Punky Brewster," "The Smurfs," and "Alvin and the Chipmunks." This helped NBC get a number-one rating in Children's Broadcasting for over 6 years. Today Phyllis Vinson is still concerned about Children's television. She has won many awards and is now Vice President of World AfricaNetwork.
