The Screen Queen's column has appeared weekly in newspapers from Maine to Miami, and as far west as Indiana. She can be heard LIVE on the Saga Communications Group of radio stations, including her flagship station (on Thursday mornings), WZID in Manchester, New Hampshire, with Mikey in the Morning. Since the late 1990s, she has also been the film critic for Ron St. Pierre's morning show on Disney's WPRO in Providence, Rhode Island. 

While The Screen Queen spends most of her time in darkened theaters and at private screenings to see what's hot and what's not, her favorites include the underdog indie flicks that she discovers at various film festivals. Her favorite festival: Nantucket in June.

The Screen Queen frequently ventures off her throne to write inspirational and enpowerment articles for women's magazines under her civilian name, Lois Cahall.      

When not dividing her time between Manhattan and Massachusetts, she can be found in Europe, where she escapes (usually by horse-drawn carriage) to frolic and cavort with fellow royalty.  

Okay, the truth is she's really a 'Lady in Waiting' - waiting, that is, on her family at the kitchen table. Not to be confused with the round table. That's right, Screen Queen's a mom, and her real crown jewels are her two daughters, often known for being real princesses.

You are welcome to share your thoughts via email and send your regards to the Queen!
