POWER OF WOMEN

On October 10th I was one of the Lifetime Impact Honorees at the 6th annual Variety’s Power of Women luncheon.

In a partnership with Lifetime, Variety established the award in order to honor Women in Entertainment who have a significant philanthropic impact. Imagine how excited I was to receive this award alongside, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Viola Davis, and Universal’s Donna Langley.

It was fun to have some (brief) time before the luncheon began to catch up with these other 4 amazing women.

I was being recognized for my work with GCAPP. Hard to believe its been 20 years since we started. I am so proud of the work we do. It was fun and important to have the opportunity to speak about the 20-year history and work of GCAPP to that audience which by the way was 500 people! And I was thrilled to have Aaron Sorkin present the award to me. Love the man! GCAPP’s President, Kim Nolte, our director of Public Relations, Bev Jones, and our board chair, Tom Larsen, were all able to attend and sit at my table. Tom has worked for Coca Cola for years and now runs the Laguna Beach, CA coconut water company, Zico, that Coke recently acquired.

Here we all are in the GCAPP “booth” where our literature was available along with copies of my recent book “Being A Teen.”

You can read more about GCAPP here on my website, but I hope you will visit www.gcapp.org

Here is the article from Variety Magazine, enjoy!

  1. Looking radiant, Jane. Congrats!

  2. Hi Jane, Thank you so much for all you do. I’ll never forget your thumbs-up when you saw me working as a scenic artist on ‘Stanley and Iris’… and you didn’t even know I had two young sons… and had traveled 15,000 miles solo cross-country by motorcycle.
    I expect you and your brother Peter would enjoy knowing about my woman’s ‘Easy Rider’ PROJECT. https://vimeo.com/107770617 and OUTTAKE: https://vimeo.com/107770618
    It is intended to better our world. Your wisdoms regarding this mission/movement would be greatly appreciated.
    Always a fan… Chris

  3. You are such an inspiration to me. I am currently reading your book “Prime Time” and it’s really making me think and wonder and plan for the rest of my 2nd act and my 3rd act (I’m 46). Changes are happening in my life (in more ways than one) and I’m beginning to think that, even though some ships in my life have sailed, I’m beginning to think that there are other ships for me. And that’s a good feeling!
    Rock on!
    Mel

  4. Congratulations Jane!!
    You’re an inspiration in everyone’s live!! <3
    xoxo, Gra.

  5. Awesome! Well deserved recognition! I have always been impressed by the work that you and others do for GCAPP. It sounds like an amazing organization that should be nation wide.

  6. I happened across the interview “Death, Sex & Money” by WNYC and appreciated your openness, and transparency. It is inspirational. Congratulations to you for your Lifetime Achievement honor and work with GCAPP. I read the content on the GCAPP website and you are so right that hope gives the strength to make good life decisions (paraphrasing here :). Really well done!

  7. Jane, I NEVER write reviews but I just watched the episode of you and your beautiful daughter, Mary, on Oprah’s next chapter. I am 23 years old and have seen (and loved) many of your movies. My main message to you is When I look at you now, especially after watching that episode on tv, I see a beautiful and spiritually aware soul that has made an even larger wave by bringing knowledge, light, and love into the world. You and your daughter Mary inspired me today and I thank you. I hope you continue to enjoy your “third act” and I hope when I reach my third act I can look back and genuinely say that I made a difference, like you did. Also, please tell Mary that her courage to face her fears and go to Antarctica as well as see her biological mom has helped me see that I too can find the strength to face my own fears. Lots of love from a small town in IL – Samantha Lehmkuhl 🙂 xox

  8. Reese …. Eye am finding out is guardedly seeking from me more answers to her deep spiritual and political questions <3

  9. Eye may be wrong but Eye suspect she (Reese) knows the answers but has a hard time with it 😛 <3 #FallenMan #Zion!

  10. Hi Jane, Nothing happens in life without effort, effort come in different guises. Have seen you on TV and papers and you are a very optimistic and giving person, I dont know you but I can see that .You cant act that. Good luck in Italy

  11. Congratulations!
