Deborah Schindler

Described by Hollywood Reporter’s Top 100 Women in Entertainment: As Martin Scorsese’s assistant on 1980’s “Raging Bull” and 1986’s “The Color of Money,” Schindler had her dream job right out of college. “It was the most wonderful introduction to moviegoing and storytelling I could ever have had,” she says. Carrying that storytelling passion forward through a producing career (in partnership with Julia Roberts), Schindler now heads Sony’s recently created international production unit and released four films in four countries in 2008.
