Bobbie has been involved in different, yet related areas in the 70 years she’s lived thus far. . She came to realize that her mission has always been to bring joy into people’s lives and thereby help people love themselves.
She graduated from the Labor Relations School at Cornell in 1961 and, in 1964, received her license in Secondary Education from Columbia Teacher’s College. As a student and then until her son David was born she worked as an economic researcher at Drechsler & Leff, her dad’s labor relations law firm. The firm represented management. Among the clients represented were the NY Hotel Association, The Men’s clothing Association, ladies’ clothing manufacturer Anne Fogarty. My grandfather David Drechsler, who founded the firm, helped Sidney Hillman found the Men’s Clothing Workers of America in 1914.
When her son was in kindergarten she followed her childhood passion and plowed into NY Theater. She began by studying with Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg and Gene Frankel. During her life She’s performed in theater and cabarets, produced theater and events and wrote songs, winning a 1988 MAC Award for the act she performed with former songwriting partner Sharon Schapow. She continues to write songs. You can see her theatrical resume on www.bobbiehorowitzproductions.inc. She attributes much of the positive response she got as a cabaret performer to the “look” she’d learned to achieve as a result having been analyzed by an image consultant. This led her to become certified in the field herself, in order to be able to help others.
