- Pamela S. K. Glasner is a published author of historical fiction and non-fiction, a filmmaker, a social advocate, a contributor to the Huffington Post, and is a a feature writer for Cabaret Scenes Magazine. She has also written several short stories.
"Last Will and Embezzlement", the critically-acclaimed documentary about the financial exploitation of the elderly and starring Hollywood icon, the late Mickey Rooney, was Ms. Glasner's debut film. Inspired by true-life events in her own family, the film premièred in Manhattan in April 2012 to a standing-room-only house.
In addition to "Last Will and Embezzlement", and "Madder Than A Full Moon Dog" (her rock-umentary film based on her company's annual heavy-metal music festival in Leeds, England), two more of Ms. Glasner's works are being made into films: "The Calicoon", a Hitchcock-style thriller / psychological horror, and "Finding Emmaus" (www.lodestarre.com), a historical docudrama / fantasy which explores the treatment and mistreatment of the mentally ill over the course of about 350 years, and how society ostracizes and victimizes those deemed to be 'different' (a.k.a 'less than').
2013 also saw the release of Ms. Glasner's second book, "Silver and Gold" which was written in honor of her parents and released on what would have been her father's 93rd birthday.
Originally from New York City, born in 1953,Ms. Glasner moved to Connecticut with her family at eighteen. A Dean's List student, she graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University with a degree in English and secondary education, with concentrations in psychology and sociology.
Because her work requires a considerable amount of historical research in both the US and the UK, in addition to being a member of the Connecticut Historical Society, Ms. Glasner is also a Registered Reader at both the Royal Society of London and the British Library. She is also a proud member of the Writer's Guild of America and the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.
She attributes her love of architecture and antique restoration-two aspects of her life which are woven into the fabric of "Finding Emmaus" - to her grandfather who, after emigrating to the US from Austria in the 1920's, became an iron worker and joined the ranks of those who left their legacy in the form of New York City's incomparable skyline. But her real hero, though gone for forty years, is still her grandmother, whose strength, courage and unfailing faith taught her that "nothing and no one can keep you from your heart's desire without your permission and your cooperation."
Ms. Glasner presently resides in rural Connecticut where she continues working on several new projects, including The Lodestarre Series.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Corey Glasner

She said, "I knew his schedule was tight and we were not supposed to stray from the topic, but I could not resist asking him privately about his Vaudeville days, and about Ava Gardner, Liz Taylor, and Judy Garland. I mean ... how often do you get an opportunity to speak with someone who has so much history?".
- Actor Vinny Vella Sr. (Casino, Analyze That, The Red Corvette) was so moved by the story behind "Last Will and Embezzlement", that he introduced Ms. Glasner to actor Artie Pasquale (The Sopranos), who became the narrator in that film, and then sponsored the film's wrap party in Manhattan.
