"Lauralee Bell's mI promise Honored by Webby Awards", Daytime Confidential, April 10, 2014

​

Bill Bell is smiling down from Soap Heaven this morning. His talented daughter Lauralee Bell continues to make impressive strides with her online programs. The writer/actress/producer's powerful texting-and-driving web soap, mI promise, has received an honorary Webby Award. "I am so proud that mI promise has impressed the selection committee for the Webby Awards," said Bell. "That's the icing on the cake for our mI promise team. Our entire goal was to reach teens, pre-teens and adults about what can happen when you text and drive at the same time. If we've helped to make people consider the consequences by providing a dramatic example, then we accomplished what we set out to do."

 

"Watch, Click, -And Buy", by Emili Vesilind, Los Angeles Times, Februaruary 27, 2011

 

"Just Off Rodeo," a comedic Web series Bell first conceptualized more than a decade ago, features merchandise that users can buy that's built into the creative content of the show. So if an actress is wearing a great top, users can click to buy the exact item and have it in their hands within a few days. And the story is so far, darned amusing. It revolves around the characters: an affluent Beverly Hills brat, an earnest fashion graduate and parody of a hairdresser, who find out, hasn't actually been hired by the store's proprietor."

Lauralee, who many compare to the late Ida Lupino and the dynamic Lee Grant, has created an internet sensation in the Web-series "Family Dinner," which she stars in as well as produces with her handsome and talented husband, Scott Martin. Bell has been smart enough to get Emmy winning actor Aaron Lustig, who also starred on "Y&R" to join her cast, along with funny lady Phyllis Dinner and Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman in her cast as well. "Family Dinner" is the most hilarious sitcom in television history. It's "All in the Family" meets "Roseanne". This series is perfect for the CW Network, VH1, E!, or even Showtime. It's not reality, it's much better.
