The best way to celebrate being a strong, independent woman is feeling like a spoiled one, especially if you’re the one treating yourself! More power to you! Variety’s annual Power of Women luncheon was held at the Beverly Wilshire on October 14, 2016. The event, in partnership with Lifetime Television, gathered an intimate group of Hollywood’s most philanthropic women who have been selected as Variety’s “Lifetime Impact Honorees.” Through their humanitarian efforts, these women have made a significant difference in their chosen causes. Variety’s Power of Women event is tied to its annual Women’s Impact Report, which profiles the most impactful women working in the entertainment industry this year. Each of the honorees were featured on the front cover of the Women’s Impact issue of Variety on October 11. The Power of Women event, which expanded two years ago to include a New York City luncheon in the spring, is now in its eighth year.
