THE Power & THE Glamour - A HOLLYWOOF PORTFOLIO

THE MATRIARCH 

KRIS JENNER

Murder trials and sex tapes are not the typical stepping stones on the path to mogul status, but Jenner has defied all expectations, both for herself and her five fashion-and-fame-loving daughters. Reality television, it turns out, was just the launching pad for the family's now multibillion-dollar lifestyle empire. If you're still asking what their talent is, you haven't been paying attention.

THE TRAILBLAZER

AVA DUVERNAY 

"The disruption that we're seeing in the traditional structures and systems of Hollywood is a good thing," says DuVernay, a former movie publicist who's now one of the most significant forces in the industry. "And I am thrilled to step into that space of vulnerability because that is where great things happen and brave things happen." Her work as a director and an advocate continues to shed light on the underrepresented, both onscreen and off.

THE HITMAKER

MARK RONSON

At 18, Ronson began his career DJ'ing in New York City and later collaborated with Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, and Lady Gaga. Last year, he wrangled Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and more on Barbie's hit soundtrack. Throw in Meryl Streep as his mother-in-law, and Ronson just might be Hollywood's official bandleader.
