Somebody Warned Me Early On To Be

I Was 16 Or Something. [my Aunt] Broadened My Understanding Of What Women Could Be Like And Do And That There's A Big World Out There. So She Had A Huge Impact On Me.

Ridiculously - Fortunately - My First Job Was With Dustin Hoffman. I Had A Little Part In This Movie Called Tootsie. And He Taught Me How To Watch Dailies. That It Was Very Important.

The Creators Of Kids' Media Had No Idea They Were Leaving Out That Many Female Characters. They Were In Utter Shock That The Worlds They Were Creating Were So Bereft Of Female Presences.

Kids Need To See Entertainment Where Females Are Valued As Much As Males.

Because I Had Some Roles That Resonated With Women, I Immediately Noticed That There Were Far More Male Characters Than Female Characters In What We're Showing Little Kids In The 21st Century, Which Was Stunning To Me. But I Couldn't Find Anybody Else Who Noticed.
