Sunday’s NBC telecast of the “Golden Globes” awards (8 p.m., WPXI-TV) includes a few ties to Pittsburgh, including Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit.”
Former Pittsburgher Susan Schulman, a New York-based literary agent, represented the estate of Walter Tevis, author of the 1983 novel of the same name that was the basis for the Netflix show, which has nominations for best limited series and best actress in a limited series for star Anya Taylor-Joy.
Schulman taught English literature at Ohio University before moving to New York, becoming a literary agent and eventually founding her own agency. She said most books that are optioned by film and TV producers don’t make it to the screen.
