Born in Hollywood to actor/film maker, John Derek and French prima ballerina/actress, Pati Behrs, Sean attended schools in Switzerland, Ireland, Spain and the US and has worked in many areas of film and television. She began her writing career as a photojournalist, repeatedly published in PEOPLE MAGAZINE, TIME, US, PARIS MATCH, HOLA and dozens of others.
