Lansing, Sherry — Sherry Lansing Foundation
Chief Executive
Sherry Lansing Foundation
THE LATEST: Veteran Hollywood executive Lansing had a long career in the movie business, but she's had an equally lengthy run supporting a variety of worthwhile causes. The Sherry Lansing Foundation, launched in 2005, is dedicated to cancer research, health, public education and career opportunities. In March, according to NBC News, Lansing held a Hollywood fundraiser at her Bel Air home for former vice president Joe Biden.
BACKGROUND: During almost 30 years in the movie business, Lansing was involved in the production, marketing and distribution of more than 200 films, including Academy Award winners "Forrest Gump," "Braveheart" and "Titanic." In 1980, she became the first woman to head a major film studio when she was appointed president of 20th Century Fox. She served as chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures for 12 years before founding the Sherry Lansing Foundation. Additionally, Lansing serves on the boards of the Broad Center, the Broad museum, the Carter Center, Encore.org, the Entertainment Industry Foundation and the W.M. Keck Foundation. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Northwestern University.
