Especially, she noted, in children's media.

Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth Banks admitted to developing an "immediate girl crush" on Sandra Fluke when the duo met at a campaign event for Obama earlier this year.

I'm thrilled to see her on the cover to get the kind of recognition that she absolutely deserves."

Sarah Paulson

American Horror Story's Sarah Paulson presented Diane Keaton with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award. In her speech, she cited an email from Keaton. "Sorry you got stuck writing a speech about me," the email read. "It's OK to let everyone know even an idiot can endure."
