I can't figure out Ashley Gable either - Ashley these days is much more frequently a female name but you never know. --LQ 11:33, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
- Okay, so I was just watching an episode of The Mentalist which had Ashley Gable credited as a screenwriter, so I was curious to see if there was any more information about the gender of this author and I did some searching and came up with a few sources that indicate it is in fact a woman. One is this Harvard in Hollywood 2008 press release that lists her as a panelist, and I'm copying the info here:
- A former attorney, Ashley Gable (AB ‘88) began her career as a television writer on the first season of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and has been afraid of the dark ever since. Currently she is a co-executive producer on THE MENTALIST on CBS (Tuesdays at 9; please watch it). As a picket captain/coordinator during the WGA strike, Ashley learned many things about Media, Entertainment and Politics, none of them good. This year she is running for election to the WGA Board of Directors and has become involved in the League of Hollywood Women Writers, a political fundraising group focusing on media issues.
- The other is a weblog entry from the Writers' Strike, which contains this paragraph:
- Strike captain Ashley Gable allowed that she was feeling "optimistic skepticism" following the news of the weekend that the WGA and studio brass had reached a major breakthrough after a marathon sesh on Friday.
- And yet another:
- And the regular updates sent around by another strike captain, Ashley Gable, to her beloved Team Foxians did the near-impossible: they made you look forward to reading strike reports for the pure aesthetic value. The richness, whimsy, puns and sheer craft and joy of effort made what should have been tedium into something involving. Unifying. And little in a strike is more important than unifying. They were so wonderful that you'd just look at them and think, wow, this person should be a writer.
- Given this evidence, I'm going to bold the episodes she's written and add links with her name. --Ide Cyan 20:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
