Charlotte Sue Brown (born October 20, 1943) is an American television producer, writer, director, and showrunner who in 1977 was acclaimed to have become the first woman showrunner of a primetime network television series for her work on The Mary Tyler Moore Show spin-off Rhoda.[1][2] However, Gertrude Berg, who created The Goldbergs, earned that title almost two decades earlier.
