TV TATTLE
19 female TV executive produces showed up for "An Evening with Female Showrunners"
-
The Post screenwriter Liz Hannah quickly assembled last night's event in a matter of days in response to the backlash over Variety's TV writers' panel that initially featured only one woman and 11 men (which Variety later rectified). The female showrunners discussed everything from inclusion to mentors to sexual harassment. According to Deadline's David Robb, "there were so many female executive producers gathered at Twitter’s offices in Santa Monica last night that they had to be arrayed in rows in two back-to-back hourlong panels, and there was a fair amount of networking and drinking during a brief intermission in between."
