Lisa Freeman (born July 28, 1957) is an American author and actress best known for her young adult surf fiction novel Honey Girl.
Life and career
Lisa Freeman was born in Los Angeles and grew up in coastal communities between Los Angeles and Hawaii, where her father Leonard Freeman created and produced the iconic TV series, Hawaii Five-O.
Freeman was also part of the L.A. underground spoken word scene and was produced by Harvey Kubernick. Her albums include Hollyword, Neighborhood Rhythms, and her solo effort, Rough Road, all produced on New Alliance Records.
After more than a decade in front of the camera, Freeman left acting to pursue academia and a writing career. She began working with Kate Braverman in 1990 at the L.A. Writers Workshop, which soon led to academic studies at Antioch University, where she earned her BA and MFA in Fiction and Pedagogy in the Art of Writing.
Freeman currently serves on the National Leadership Council's board of directors for the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation.
