15. AMY PASCAL
AGE 49
JOB TITLE Cochairman,
Sony Pictures
Entertainment
SMART BECAUSE She has the
best talent relationships
in the business (Will Smith,
Adam Sandler, and Judd
Apatow among them).
With chair Michael Lynton,
puts grosses over
prestige. A veteran at the
top, Pascal is sometimes
underestimated because
of her decidedly uncorporate
demeanor, but the
numbers don't lie: The
Spider-Man franchise has
grossed $2.5 billion worldwide.
SUPERSMART Greenlit Superbad when
nobody else would.
