Allan Lawrence Maraynes is an American documentary filmmaker, investigative journalist, television producer, and writer. He is best known for his award-winning work on CBS's 60 Minutes, ABC's 20/20, and Dateline NBC.
Education
[edit]Maraynes graduated from Queens College[1] in 1972 with a bachelor's degree in Mass Communications and Theatre, and in 1974 earned a Master's in Film and Television from Loyola University[2] (now the Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television).
Professional career
[edit]Maraynes began his career in 1974 at CBS News where he soon landed at 60 Minutes,[3] spending the better part of a decade working as a producer alongside famed correspondents, Mike Wallace and Ed Bradley. He generated major investigations, including a report into fuel tank hazards of the Ford Pinto,[4][5][6] and produced nearly thirty segments, spanning everything from Who Killed Malcolm X[7][8] to profiles of notable cultural figures like Robin Williams[9] and George Steinbrenner.[10][11]
After 60 Minutes he was co-executive producer of an ABC Entertainment pilot "SST".[12][13] Maraynes then spent several years at ABC's 20/20,[14] where he served as both producer and senior investigative producer, generating investigations[15] into many pressing social issues, such as hotel security,[16] the state of the mentally ill in prisons,[17] and crime in nursing homes.
In 1996 he joined Dateline NBC[18] as a senior investigative producer. Among the stories he originated and/or supervised are investigations into airport security lapses[19][20] (five years before the attacks of September 11, 2001), a hidden camera investigation into corruption in the ranks of some Louisiana police officers,[21] and investigations into child labor in American agriculture and the Indian silk business.[22] Maraynes also played a major role in the creation, design, writing, and success of several internal Dateline franchises, including the long-running series, "To Catch a Predator".[23] Most recently, he originated and supervised a Peabody Award-winning hour (as part of NBC News' In Plain Sight initiative): "Breathless",[24][25][26][27] which exposed the national epidemic of childhood asthma and its link to poverty.
Maraynes has guest lectured at the New School[28] in New York, New York University, the Columbia University School of Journalism,[29] and Tufts University.[30]
He is currently the president of Row M Productions which develops feature film and feature documentary projects.
