Kim Moses and Ian Sander, Executive
Producers of CBS' "Ghost Whisperer."
Moses and Sander met on the job some
20 years ago at Ohlmeyer Productions, where Kim was
producing the docu-series "How'd They Do That?"
and Ian was developing telefilms.
"We worked right across the
hall together and really got to know one another right
from the start," Moses says. "Maybe that's why
we can work together, because the chemistry was tested
from the very beginning."
Certain gender logic defines their
labor divisions: he's the nuts and bolts businessman; she
takes care of the glamour and promotion.
"You have to have complementary
skills - your business, your personal and your creative
skills," Sander says, his office still down the hall
from Moses' at their production company at Universal.
"But you also have to work on it, and it's a
conscious thing."
With any creative partnership,
disagreements are inevitable. But for a show - and
especially a marriage - to run smoothly, ego-driven power
struggles of who's right and who's wrong ha ve to be
quickly resolved.
"Kim (Moses) and Ian (Sander)
give each other a lot of room to grow and make
decisions," says "Ghost Whisperer" star
Jennifer Love Hewitt. "When so much of your time is
spent working together, it also allows you to work on
your marriage at the same time, so that's probably a
great thing long term for their relationship."
