Dionne Harmon is making major moves in Hollywood as a producer. Next up is Sunday's BET Awards
Dionne Harmon might be an unfamiliar name amongst the masses, but some of the most popular entertainers, including Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, Erykah Badu and Questlove, know about her work
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — If Dionne Harmon never found an old script on New Edition's biopic, the R&B group's story might still be sitting on a shelf instead of becoming a highly-rated miniseries for BET.
Same can be said for other projects like “The Bobby Brown Story” and the Soul Train-inspired series “American Soul.” She might not have a household name, but she's known in Hollywood for working on big projects and major events including the Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes. Harmon has worked on multiple Super Bowl halftime shows, becoming the first Black woman to produce the show.
Next up, she’ll be a producer at the BET Awards on Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern. The show will air live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
The Emmy winner is one of the few Black women to hold a top position in the entertainment industry. She is president of Jesse Collins Entertainment, one of television's most requested production companies. Harmon reports directly to CEO Jesse Collins, who is her fiancé.
