A high-profile professional and pioneer in media, Ms. Arbus is a sought-after speaker at national and international conferences. Among her many appearances, she has spoken at TEDxWomen and the United Nations.

As a disability rights activist, she is committed to the work initiated by her parents (Isabelle and Leonard H. Goldenson, Founder and Chairman of ABC) who co-founded the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation, which serves people with a wide range of disabilities.

The author of six non-fiction books, she has also written countless articles for many national publications and was twice nominated for an Emmy® Award. She co-wrote the first book on AIDs, “Everything You Need to Know About AIDs,” with Dr. Mathilde Krim.

She holds the trailblazing distinction of being the first woman to head programming for a U.S. network, a feat accomplished twice (both at Showtime and Cable Health Network/Lifetime). In addition to helping establish these two cornerstones of cable television, she subsequently launched Loreen Arbus Productions, Inc., an independent television production company with an emphasis on non-fiction programming.

A professional Argentine Tango dancer and choreographer, Loreen (and her partner) created the first
full-length theatrical presentation of Argentine Tango to originate in the United States. They
performed Argentine Tango at the Hollywood Bowl, on Broadway, and toured six continents. They are
the co-creators, producers, and choreographers of the longest-running Argentine Tango show to
originate in the United States. She has divided her time between New York, Los Angeles, and Buenos
Aires.
