Presented by Royal Bank of Canada and hosted by NeueHouse, these amazing women discussed progress in recent years for women in the entertainment industry from working conditions as models to health and nutrition to discrimination and salaries.
Questions posed to celebrity panelists by moderator Merilyn included: What was the working condition like for models when you started out? How often in a casting process do you encounter directors or producers who only want you to read for just a really stereotypical role?
