Hollywood ‘Power Women’ Keep Wallets Closed for Hillary

By Published on January 27, 2016

While Hillary Clinton has made a half-dozen successful fundraising trips to California, the Democrat presidential frontrunner has so far failed to earn the support of a key fundraising bloc in the state: Hollywood’s most powerful female executives.

Of the 100 women on The Hollywood Reporter’s 2015 “Power 100” list of the biggest female names in entertainment, just one in four had donated to Clinton’s presidential campaign as of the most recent Federal Election Commission filing, the outlet reported Wednesday.

Clinton has earned the lion’s share of Hollywood support over the past year, picking up maximum donations from industry heavyweights like Tom Hanks, Barbra Streisand, HBO president of programming Michael Lombardo, and Lionsgate executive Patrick Wachsberger. A fundraiser at singer Christina Aguilera’s home in November brought in $1 million for the campaign; Katie Holmes and Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy attended, as did longtime Clinton supporters Michael Kives and Darnell Strom of powerhouse talent agency CAA. Clinton has also mixed it up with California lawmakers like Sen. Barbra Boxer and Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) at other high-dollar fundraisers.
