From Drew Barrymore to Jenny Han: These NY Women Made an Impact on the Entertainment Industry the Past Year:

Every year, Variety celebrates the wo­men who make this city’s $60 billion entertainment industry come alive — and thrive. This year, we looked beyond familiar names to showcase 66 executives, producers, directors, writers and actors who deserve to be seen. The women who appear on the pages that follow have broken barriers, navigated TV’s streaming wars, produced indie movies on a budget Marvel would consider chump change and contributed to New York’s rich artistic landscape. We salute them for all that they do.
