Middle Age Hollywood

The Hollywood Reporter held its annual Women in Hollywood breakfast yesterday to coincide with the release of its annual issue (the 19th) on the most powerful women in the business. Not surprisingly, the list is pretty white. The only woman of color in the top ten is Oprah. Other women of color include: Debra Lee, President of BET at 33; Christina Norman CEO of OWN at 57; Shonda Rhimes at 59; Nina Shaw at 81; Vanessa Murchison at 91.
