In hiring Ann Sarnoff as CEO, WarnerBros breaks with its decades-old, male-centric culture
Around the turn of this century, everything looked so promising for women. Twenty years after Sherry Lansing had broken the glass ceiling — well, one of many glass ceilings — when shethe first female production president at a major studio , other women were all around, their names popping up in any conversation about leadership roles.
For every leap forward, it seems, Hollywood feels compelled to take a leap back. For every giant wave that carries it toward a more egalitarian future, a monstrous undertow sucks it toward the past. That’s been the case ever since its earliest days, when it was founded by four warring siblings — all brothers, in case you didn’t remember — and it’s continued through the imperial reign of Steve Ross and on through the monarchical era of Bob Daly and Terry Semel.
Her performance now will depend on many things: how she defines her role in relation to key executives already in place; how skillfully she manages her most important task, the transition to streaming; and how openly she’s embraced by an industry long hostile to outsiders. But they got their jobs before the entertainment business was swept into an era of revolutionary change. And revolutions need revolutionaries, people who can take a fresh look at the landscape, bring in new talent and new ideas. They need people who don’t just bend the mold but break it.
