Sally Young from front page
Kasdan regarding the script and the developing
characters.
Young said she has always been one to
grasp any opportunities, no matter how trivial
they may seem at the time. “Anything you do
teaches you something,” she said, mentioning
how important it is to “get your foot in the
door” and perform mundane tasks like “sweeping
the floor or delivering scripts.”
“You have to have the desire” to succeed,
she said. “You have to be in the place you
want to be. I never knew anybody who failed
who gave their heart and soul” to the entertainment
industry.
While working at the Doner advertising
agency, Young continued to acquire new skills
and hone those she already possessed. She was
promoted to junior producer and then to producing
television commercials. It was at this point
in her burgeoning career that Young remembers
thinking, “if I can make a 30-second commercial,
could I make a 30-minute TV show?”
It turns out that she could. She was twentyfive
at the time, a pivotal timeframe for Young.
She said she was “young enough to be brave,
and old enough to have a few dollars in the
bank.” It was that combination that led her to
travel across the country and settle in the Los
Angeles area in 1975 and chase her dreams.
Young had moved west with her boyfriend,
and he wanted to live by the beach, so she
was tasked with finding a suitable location. “I
have to say that, back in the ‘70s, I was not
that aware of El Segundo.” The couple landed
in Manhattan Beach.
Fast forward a couple of decades. Young
said that post the 9/11 tragedy, her work in the
industry slowed down. “Peaks and valleys,” she
said, of working in the entertainment field. At
that point, Young re-evaluated her living situation.
“I really don’t have to spend so much
money on stuff,” she remembers thinking. She
decided to downsize a bit and moved to El
Segundo in 2004.
At that time, Young was “house flipping”
properties in Manhattan Beach. But once it
became apparent that “Modern Family,” which
hit the airwaves in 2009, was going to be a
mega-hit, Young moved back to the beach area
in Manhattan.
And now she is back living in El Segundo.
Young said that while her domicile in Manhattan
Beach on 33rd Street and Highland had
a “panoramic view,” she said, “I don’t miss
it. It was just too much,” she mused, with
“overpriced everything. El Segundo has the
feel of a place that you can call home. It has
not lost its luster, like so many towns have.
“When you come from the Midwest,” she
said, “you just crave” the trappings of a town
like El Segundo, mentioning the proximity of
the fire station, high school, the library, and “an
eclectic mix of all of the best things in life.”
Back to her day job. Young said she soon
became intrigued with the duties of a commercial
script supervisor while working her
way up the entertainment employment ladder
and decided, “That is what I want to do!”
She remembers being emboldened by the
words on a poster that she traipsed around with
as she moved to different domiciles: “When
you trust yourself, you will know how to live.”
That trip to California in 1975, where Young
followed her career passion, ensued. Once
arriving in Los Angeles, she ended up typing
scripts for the great Norman Lear, who was
churning out an extremely successful string
of sitcoms, including “Maude.” Young was
asked to shadow the Maude script supervisor,
learning the script supervisor’s duties. She said
that after “working on several series as a script
supervisor, I moved on.”
Her next TV gig involved drawing a paycheck
as a secretary at the ABC Network. She said that
they had an in-house production company that
produced television series and theatrical films,
and “I wanted in.” And a year later, Young
was “in.” She landed a job as the production
executive on the hit show “Moonlighting,”
which raised the profile of actors Bruce Willis
and Cybill Shepherd.
Young relates that she developed a checklist
for the fifteen things she wanted to accomplish
in the Hollywood environs and was soon
checking off the boxes.
She left ABC to become a freelance producer,
a calling that entails numerous challenges, like
no steady paycheck. “It is an unsettling life,”
she told the EMU students in her speech.
“Trying to string together a series of jobs and
assignments. Sometimes there are huge gaps
between projects and paychecks.”
But a fortuitous event occurred for Young.
She was asked to work on a Utah-based miniseries,
working with the executive producer,
who would, down the yellow-brick road, select
her to become part of the production crew for
“Modern Family.”
Young said that most players in the entertainment
industry are what she termed “hobos,”
not necessarily working 52 weeks a year, but
bouncing around, working and completing
projects, then looking for the next opportunity.
She was urged to participate in that pilot
for a sitcom that, at the time, was called “My
American Family,” which turned into “Modern
Family” and ran for eleven seasons, with the
final show airing in April of 2020. Young said
that when the Modern Family pilot was picked
up by the ABC Network, she had three options
on projects to pursue. “Thank God I picked
Modern Family,” the 2014 Emmy Award winner
related. “For a show to (air) for 11 seasons is
quite unusual,” Young said. “It will probably
never happen again.
“I was part of an era that is…gone,” she
related. “To have been part of a show that
was so widely celebrated and honored was the
highlight of my whole career.” The other two
employment options that Young was considering
when she signed up with the “Modern Family”
crew tanked, only lasting a season. “I made a
good choice,” she said.
As for her return to El Segundo, Young said
that “I love this town,” noting the friends that
she made during her first stint as an El Segundo
resident. Young said that she “frequented” El
Segundo while she was living in Manhattan
Beach, residing in her home with an ocean
view. But Young, who says she currently “has
the best neighbors in the world,” yearned for a
little less-hectic lifestyle than the one that had
developed in Manhattan Beach. She said that
“I could count on one hand” the neighbors that
she knew while living in Manhattan Beach.
“I love the community spirit” of El Segundo,
she said, touting the town’s “walkability,”
mentioning the local restaurants, activities,
and hometown feel. “I never wanted to live in
a big city,” she said. “It is great to be back.”
“The magic is already starting to happen,”
she said.
El Segundo resident Barb Donner has
known Young “forever.” Donner, who worked
with Young “for a New York minute” in the
entertainment industry, said that Young is “one
of the smartest people I know. Everyone that
she works with loves her. She gives attention
to detail in her job, in her life. She is good
at what she does. She is fun to work with.
She can be a bit of a taskmaster, a bit of a
perfectionist,” Donner added, but “she is still
in demand (in her industry). And she is one
of the most generous people that I have ever
known,” Donner said, mentioning a story about
the time Young and Donner attended the Emmy
Awards ceremonies.
Michelle Nalepa had also known Young
“forever” since their first year at EMU when
they were roommates. Nalepa still lives in
Michigan but has continued a friendship with
Young for more than 50 years. Nalepa said that
Young is “very passionate about everything in
her life.” Summing up their longtime friendship,
Nalepa said that “everyone should have
a friend like Sally.”
When not working as a producer or production
manager, Young likes to play golf and, over
the years, has taken up racquetball and tennis.
She loves to travel and take ocean cruises and
has visited all fifty states.
Still perfecting her craft as a production
manager, Young, who is currently working on
the ABC show Home Economics, feels the need
to “make a difference” outside of her job duties.
“I have been blessed by a wonderful industry
that has allowed me to have two homes and tao
go places. I feel so blessed. I want to continue
to give back. My life gets better every year.
“Magical things happened to me during my
last residence here,” she reiterated, “and I’m
hoping for that magic again with this return.” •
