LOS ANGELES — The Producers Guild of America has elected its first woman of color to be president of the organization that represents Hollywood producers.
The PGA, whose history dates back to 1950, said Stephanie Allain, a former executive at 20th Century Fox and Columbia Pictures, was elected president alongside former Paramount Pictures President Donald De Line at the annual membership meeting Tuesday, according to a statement.
The two producers ran unopposed to succeed presidents Gail Berman and Lucy Fisher, who were elected in 2018. The nonprofit, which has more than 8,000 members, lobbies for the interests of producers. The new leaders are advocating for a greater diversity in the membership and better deals and benefits for producers.
