Founder / Editor-in-Chief

Bethany Joy Lenz is an award-winning actress and director, an executive producer, accomplished singer/songwriter, composer, writer and fine artist. Her nine-year run on The CW drama “One Tree Hill” made her a pop- culture icon and established a deeply loyal, worldwide fanbase.

Most recently, Lenz been lauded by the New York Times, Forbes, The Hollywood Reporter, Interview Magazine, People Magazine and Variety, not just for her work on screen, but for her groundbreaking (and chart-topping) iHeart Radio podcast, DRAMA QUEENS with Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton Morgan. The podcast addresses the actresses’ collective #MeToo experiences and promotes healing through female friendship. Generations of American women (14-18 & 25-45) are showing up in droves to engage and re-engage with Lenz and her co-stars. In her 25 year career, Lenz has established herself as a strong role model for women and girls, and takes that role seriously.

Now, Lenz's long-held dream of starting a publication is becoming a reality with MODERN VINTAGE NEWS, a place where ideas, art, philosophy and fun converge in a very tangible way. The MODERN VINTAGE brand expands even beyond Lenz’ current fanbase, reaching folks who are simply seeking a refuge from the digital noise.
