“I started acting when I was three years old, and I didn’t see a woman directing until I was in my 30s,” Appleby said. “So it was never really an image that I saw that I thought I could be that, although I’d always had an interest behind the camera. So when I met Liz Allen on the set of ‘Life Unexpected,’ and I saw a female really directing for the first time, that was really the thing that pushed me forward.”

The panel is a must-watch! Please head on over to Variety in order to watch these inspiring women: https://variety.com/video/jill-scott-kelly-rowland-shiri-appleby-directing-producing/
