Full BIO: Darlene Lieblich Tipton is just your typical senior citizen: she knits, bakes, is an active member of the Red Hat Society, flies ultra light aircraft, owns a pooper-scooper company, is a five-time “Jeopardy” Champion, breast cancer victor, former frog jockey, member of Mensa, and owns an award-winning movie production company.

Okay, maybe she’s not so typical…

In high school, Darlene performed with a theater troupe and sang in choirs and groups while excelling at academics, earning a place in “Who’s Who of American High School Students.” Offered scholarships to many colleges and universities, she chose to attend UCLA, where she studied motion pictures and television, improved her knowledge of French and German, and learned computer programming. After college she went to work for CBS Television, first as a typist on the night shift in the script department as the first female employee and later supervisor of the Program Practices, and later in Daytime Programming. Over these years Darlene worked on “The Price Is Right,” “Match Game,” “The Young and The Restless,” “The Bold and The Beautiful,” “Wheel of Fortune,” and dozens of other programs. She was featured in a documentary about the game show “Press Your Luck.”

While pregnant and working full-time, Darlene earned an MBA at Pepperdine University. When her closeted bi-sexual husband tested HIV-positive, Darlene cared for him for the last 11 years of his life until he died of AIDS at the age of 47, leaving her a single mother.

In 1990 Darlene took a job with the fledgling Fox Broadcasting Company as manager of its Standards and Practices department. Her first major assignment was the original “90210,” which she covered for every episode of the show’s ten-year run. She also worked on shows as diverse as “Malcolm In The Middle,” “Melrose Place,” “The X-Files,” and “The Simpsons,” handled children’s programming, edited theatrical films to broadcast criteria, and developed standards for the newly-emerging reality show genre, traveling around the world to supervise hundreds of reality productions. She created standards regarding responsibilities in commercial advertising and wrote a computer tracking system to manage them. During these years she was also an active member of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, was elected by her peers to two terms on the Board of Governors, co-founded TV Cares, the Academy’s AIDS service committee, and served for five years as chair of the Daytime Emmy Awards, including several stints hosting the Daytime Technical Awards presentations. She became a five-time “Jeopardy” Champion, appearing on the Tournament of Champions in 2000.

After 25 years with Fox Cable Networks, Darlene was fired from her job (and later received a settlement in a wrongful termination lawsuit) for sending a personal email suggesting the idea of using a crowd-funding portal to aid the long-time girlfriend of one of the American passengers on the missing Malaysia Flight 370.

Darlene and Ken met in 2001 when Darlene produced a movie based on Ken's family's true story. “HEART of the BEHOLDER” won five Best Feature Film awards and was the movie debut of Chloe Grace Moretz. Ken and Darlene were married in 2005 and have six children and three grandchildren between them. Today Darlene is pursuing a new vocation as brand ambassador and Karma Expert for Amazing Karma to accomplish as much good for people and the planet as possible. Learn more at AmazingKarma.com.

Ken was born in El Paso, Texas, in 1952 and grew up in St. Charles, MO. A serial entrepreneur from a young age, he sold Mason shoes and greeting cards door to door plus just about anything else advertised in the back of comic books and “Boys Life” magazine. He also ran a newspaper and worked many retail and restaurant jobs. After high school Ken attended the University of Missouri before enlisting in the Air Force. He trained as an electronic navigation specialist and traveled the world in a military airlift squadron. After his Air Force tour ended, he returned to St. Louis and joined IBM as a computer engineer. He turned his love of flying into an aerial advertising company called HIGH SIGNS that used a powered hang-glider on weekends.

In 1981 Ken opened the first videocassette rental store in St. Louis called Video Library. With hard work, Video Library grew into a multi-million-dollar company comprised of video stores and stand-alone robotic video kiosks called Movie Machines that offered video movie rentals 24/7 and were franchised in many states.

In the summer of 1993, Ken volunteered as he had many times before to build sand bag flood walls when St. Louis experienced the “flood of the century.” His kids wanted to help too but were too young, so Ken set up an entrepreneurial project for them making flood souvenirs to be given to the flood volunteers. A CNN reporter saw Ken and his kids collecting flood water in small glass jars and featured them in a report that garnered worldwide attention. Flood souvenirs were given personally to Vice President Al Gore and the Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan when they toured the flood damage. Orders came in from around the world. Money raised was donated to the Red Cross and Salvation Army except for $20 each the kids were allowed to keep.

Darlene and Ken met in 2001 when Darlene produced a movie based on Ken's family's true story. “HEART of the BEHOLDER” was based on his family’s true story. It won five Best Feature Film awards and was the movie debut of Chloe Grace Moretz.

Ken and Darlene were married in 2005. They now live in Los Angeles where he is a writer/actor/producer/director. They have continued developing independent movie, TV, and Internet projects. They have expanded their entrepreneurial ventures by owning and remotely operating from Los Angeles the #1 pet waste removal company in St. Louis, Doody Calls.

In February 2016, Ken and Darlene launched AmazingKarma.com based on their personal philosophy of Karma, defined as the non-religious concept of “What goes around, comes around.” They believe that good Karma comes from simply doing the right thing, and that owning one’s actions, making amends, then moving ahead is the key to a higher quality of life.
