Ruth Warick who plays Phoebe Tyler-Wallingford on AMC wrote
a book a few years back entitled "The Confessions of Phoebe Tyler".
Here is what she had to say on the topic:
"It is the suburb of Center City which somewhat
resembles Philadelphia and it is about 90 miles
from New York City... In fact, Pine Valley
occupies roughly the same map position as Bryn
Mawr, the affluent Philadelphia mainline community
which is the home of a famous instition of learning.
Which is not suprising, since Bryn Mawr is also the
home of...Agnes Nixon."*
Agnes Nixon is the creator of AMC.
