In 2019 the Hollywood Reporter gathered together seven Hollywood executives regarded as being among the most powerful in the business for a roundtable discussion, which is pictured here (click to enlarge). From the left, they are Scott Stuber, head of original films for Netflix; then-Disney Co-Chair Alan Horn; Tom Rothman, “Chairperson” of Sony Pictures; Donna Langley, Chairwoman of Universal; the moderator; then-Warner Bros. Chairman Toby Emmerich; then-Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos; and Amazon Studio Chief Jennifer Salke. All of the executives are Jews except for Langley, although she attends events at the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and Gianopulos, who is Greek Orthodox, although he has been “honored” by the Center. Horn, Emmerich, and Gianopulos have since all been replaced by other Jews.
