Betty Deborah Ulius wrote television scripts in the 1950s and 1960s in Hollywood. She did early work in live television for CBS in New York City. Later she was executive producer for the Fireside Playhouse in the early 1980s, for which she wrote 13 radio dramas under the sponsorship of the National Information Committee of the Baha'i Faith. During that time she also wrote radio scripts for the Heartbeat Theatre, produced for the Salvation Army. Before she died in 1995 she published a novel entitled, "Dangerous Behavior" that refers back to her childhood experiences with radio drama.
