Disney's Dana Walden talks about "importance of the industry" In LA & the "amazing" Ryan Murphy as she accepts the PGA Milestone Award From Bob Iger.

“Over the span of Dana’s career, she’s probably had a hand in more television series than anyone in the business… which speaks volumes about her love of storytelling and creativity, her respect for creators, and the passion and dedication she brings to her job, to our company, and to the industry,” Iger said of his “colleague, friend and neighbor” Walden. Acknowledging the many producers she has worked with in her top roles at 20th Television, Fox Broadcasting and Disney, Walden singled out “the amazing Ryan Murphy,” with whom she shares one of the longest and prolific executive-producer relationships that has yielded 20 series and counting, including Glee, the American Horror Story and 9-1-1. Past recipients also include Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney, and more recently Steven Spielberg, Sherry Lansing, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, Clint Eastwood Donna Langley and Charles D. King.
