‘Elvis’ and ‘Wednesday’ Producer Gail Berman Reflects on Going From Broadway to Film and Back Again: ‘I’m Your Pivot Girl’
Gail Berman will be honored with the Norman Lear Achievement Award at the PGA Awards on Feb. 25.
“I’m your pivot girl,” says Berman, who last year received nominations for both a best picture Oscar (“Elvis”) and a comedy series Emmy (Netflix’s “ Wednesday ”). It was around this time Berman first met the man her PGA honor was named after, legendary producer Norman Lear (best known for groundbreaking TV series such as “All in the Family”), who died in December at the age of 101. When Berman’s husband, writer-producer Bill Masters (“Caroline in the City”), scored a two-picture deal with Disney, the couple moved to Los Angeles and she launched her career as a Hollywood exec, with stints at Dolly Parton’s Sandollar Prods., Fox Broadcasting, Paramount Pictures, BermanBraun and the Jackal Group.
