It’s an election year, and producer Lauren Shuler Donner is feeling particularly candid.
“The country is a mess. George Bush’s policies have been disastrous for the environment, Sarah Palin is awful, …” she ticks off like someone who comes up for air about once every 18 months.

Though much of the industry might skirt the opportunity to voice a polarizing political opinion lest they alienate any potential theatergoers, Shuler Donner is no shrinking violet. She didn’t ascend to her current perch as one of Hollywood’s top producers — male or female — by being timid.
