“I’m so grateful to have known her. To have worked with her. To have built something with her,” Marja-Lewis Ryan, “The L Word: Generation Q” showrunner, director, writer and executive producer, said in a statement. “Her confidence made me a better creator and, perhaps more significantly, her seemingly endless patience made me a better mother. She was and is my North Star.”
Recently, Ozarski served as executive producer for “GOLF,” a new Netflix show starring Will Ferrell, as well as for an upcoming Vince Gilligan project on Apple TV+. Ozarski was also co-founder of Funny Adjacent Productions, along with producing partner Anna Dokoza.
Ozarski is survived by Jonathan Haug, her husband, and Harley Haug, their 4-year-old daughter. She is also survived by her parents Robert and Idelma Ozarsk and brothers Adam Ozarski and Marc Ozarski.
