Women Who Run the Show: How a Brilliant and Creative New Generation of Women Stormed Hollywood

Based on over 125 interviews with women in virtually every segment of the entertainment business -- from feature films to television, from corporate offices and new media to the back lot -- Women Who Run the Show is the unfiltered account of women's lives in the workplace from the 1970s through 2000. How did they make it in one of the toughest industries around? Holding nothing back on subjects from the cost of success to sexual harassment, from dealing with "the boys' club" to mentoring. Gregory's women reveal the truths they've learned about careers and life. Nothing is off-limits -- from honesty about home life (or lack of it), to the children they didn't have ("I woke up one day and I was fifty."), to the high of getting something great up on the screen. Women Who Run the Show is a lively, tough, and joyful conversation with the women of Hollywood.
