Los Angeles, Dec 9 (IANS) Veteran actress Jane Fonda has urged Hollywood bosses to offer more behind-the-camera jobs to women in the showbiz industry.
“Until more women wield the power to decide what movies and TV shows get made, Hollywood culture won’t really yield all the fascinating complexities that are the realities of women’s lives. Until then, we’re accepting supporting roles in an industry many of us have devoted our lives to,” contactmusic.com quoted Fonda as saying.
The actress was honoured with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award for her film work and philanthropy at the Hollywood Reporter’s annual Power 100 Women in Entertainment event in Beverly Hills, California.
