Yesterday while I was taking editor in chief Peter Bart to the woodshed for his sexist comments about Jane Campion and Kathryn Bigelow the paper that he runs, Variety, was about to honor a plethora of women (including both Campion and Bigelow) for their contributions as women working in the business in its annual “Women’s Impact Report” which this year included a luncheon.
A bunch of high profile women were honored for their charitable work including:
Maria Bello- women’s rights and genocide
Christina Aguilera- world hunger
Christina Applegate- breast cancer
Anne Hathaway- volunteerism
January Jones- protecting the oceans
Sigourney Weaver- non-profit theatre
Sherry Lansing & Laura Ziskin- cancer
Check out the full impact report for profiles of leading actors, directors, executives, creatives, agents, lawyers and many others.

I looove Christina + Anne. Talented, beautiful ladies supporting great causes. Christina’s also a huge advocate for women who have experienced domestic abuse, as she and her mother went through it when she was a child.
Where are the women of color – why are they NOT included in this list???????
