One of her most fulfilling achievements was as associate producer
of the restoration of Orson Welles'
Othello. The film took
four years for Welles to make and won him the Prize for Best Feature
Film at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival. Welles' "flawed masterpiece"
was restored and premiered again at Cannes, exactly 40 years later.
Today, it remains one of the greatest
achievements of his career.

about women and sports for ABC, which subsequently aired on Lifetime,

Thousand Pieces of Gold , Ms. Lyon helped to create a film based on Ruthanne Lum
