520    "The definitive biography of movie executive and 
       philanthropist Sherry Lansing traces her groundbreaking 
       journey to become the first female head of a major motion 
       picture studio, shares behind-the-scenes tales from movie 
       sets and Hollywood boardrooms, and explains what inspired 
       her to walk away from it all to start the Sherry Lansing 
       Foundation. When Sherry Lansing became the first woman 
       ever to be named president of a major studio, the news 
       ricocheted around the world. That was just the beginning 
       of an extraordinary run that saw her head two studios, 
       make hundreds of films, produce classic pictures such as 
       Fatal Attraction and rule for twenty-five years as the 
       most powerful woman Hollywood has ever known. Award-
       winning writer Stephen Galloway takes us behind the scenes
       of Lansing's epic journey--inside the battles; up close 
       with the stars; and into the heart of a creative world 
       populated by the likes of Meryl Streep, Steven Spielberg, 
       Jane Fonda, Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise. He shows us the
       velvet touch that masked the iron hand, and the roller-
       coaster drama behind such movies as Titanic, Forrest Gump,
       Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan. Above all, he takes us
       into the mind of Lansing, creating a revealing portrait of
       a dynamic, driven woman who overcame unimaginable odds, 
       pushed boundaries and left Hollywood at the peak of her 
       power to achieve the life she wanted."--Jacket.
