Emmy Award for Top Chef Producer Gaylen Gawlowski 1996
Gaylen Gawlowski, Vice President of Current Programming at Magical Elves, won an Emmy Award for her work on cable television reality show Top Chef. “Top Chef has always been considered the underdog in the Reality Competition category because the show is a cable show with a lower budget and viewership than the big network programs we are up against,” says Gawlowski, who walked down the red carpet at the Emmy Awards this summer. “Finding out that we Emmy winner Gawlowski on the red carpet with her husband, Russ. won held special meaning because it showed that our peers in the entertainment industry held the quality of our work in high regard. Hearing Top Chef announced at the Emmys was incredible and surreal. But, getting up on stage with thousands of people staring at you, not to mention the thought of millions watching at home, is absolutely intimidating!” Gawlowski enjoys the hectic Hollywood pace, but her favorite role is being a mother. “My most important job is being a mom to my two boys, Noble and Alistair, and wife to my husband, Russ, who is an actor and stay-at-home dad. In the few hours before my husband and I pass out asleep each night, we are working on writing a script for a one-hour comedy pilot.”
