I hope we have an equal number of
writers and directors that are women.
And I hope that sexual harassment
of women in the workplace has been
completely eliminated.”34 MARLEE MATLIN
“I recall quite well when a producer
bullied me into a scene where I had to
be filmed in a tub, basically telling me
that ‘all actresses have to do it’ when
it came to nudity. He pulled a power
trip, I felt as if I had no choice. I was
humiliated and have never forgotten
how I was treated. I wish I’d known
back when this photo was taken that
as women, we probably would’ve
learned a great deal from each other
had we taken a moment to ask, ‘Has
this happened to you?’ But back then,
we just didn’t speak about it.”(^27) EVA MARIE SAINT
“Women are on a roll. Women are
so much stronger and willing to point
fingers and are not going to take it
anymore. I sound like Pollyanna, but
I think it will evolve to be more natu-
ral where people won’t be conscious
about their behavior, it just will be.”
67 ESTELLE PARSONS
“When I started out, it was way before
feminism. There were only a few
women like me doing their own thing
in life. So I predate practically every-
thing. When women began to rise up,
a lot of men began to give lip service
to it. I think perhaps the end of lip
service by men, or maybe the reveal
of that lip service by men, is over.
Now having this come on the table so
strongly, a spade is really a spade.
In the long run, it will be a wonderful
thing because people will be more
honest with each other. And the man
who refuses to recognize women is
going to stand out and be ostracized,
which has not been true until now.”
38 LYNNE LITTMAN
“My career began to happen at the
height of the women’s movement. I
can say I’ve done my fighting. But you
know what? It doesn’t end. There’s
been a tremendous opening up in the
past five years — but the rage and the
sense of revenge or justice has blot-
ted out most intelligent discourse. It
feels like somewhat of a victory, but
a dangerous one.”
43 CALLIE KHOURI
“Back then, there was always an
unspoken understanding that
women were not valued in the mar-
ketplace to the same degree as men,
and that’s across the board, on every
level, creative or executive. I do think
