Sheila Nevins is one of the most powerful forces in showbiz. As President of HBO Documentary Films, Sheila has made some of the most fascinating documentaries ever made. Some of her recent movies include Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Nothing Left Unsaid, Diana, Our Mother. She has received 32 Emmy Awards (more than any other single person) and 26 Academy Awards—among other accolades. Married with a son, Sheila has defied the odds, remaining at the helm of HBO for decades. And she just did it again. At 78, she has written her first book, You Don’t Look Your Age...And other Fairy Tales. It is candid, funny, and poignant—and details her climb to the top, how she has managed to stay there and her strategy for working in a youth-oriented industry.
