Jill shares that there were women who did everything from the beginning from producers, editors, screenwriters, stuntwomen, camera operators, set designers, directors, and more. The only thing is they were never acknowledged as their male counterparts were. One example is June Foray, a voice actress with over 300 voiceovers. Mel Blanc was the June Foray for animation and received so much recognition. Barbara highlights Alice Guy-Blache, who in 1896 began her directorial career directing over 1000 movies and managed her own studio. Her films were not recognized for many years until recently when her legacy is being told.

Is there a docu-series in the works or a course coming to a college campus? We think there should be.
