The Women Who Run Hollywood

Women have been omnipresent in Hollywood on the other side of the camera almost from the beginning. Think of the most successful actress, producer and business woman Mary Pickford or Frances Marion, to name but a few. Only with the arrival of the talkies the male influence in Hollywood became dominant for the next decades. With Women's Lib in the 70s and 80s the tide turned again. Well educated women with university degrees took Hollywood by storm.
