Bruna Papandrea with More Big Little Lies

Bruna Papandrea is known for getting things done in Hollywood. With almost two dozen films and TV series in the works with her production company Made Up Stories, Papandrea is currently riding the Monterey waves of her latest release: season two of the smash hit HBO series Big Little Lies. The new season reunites the award-winning female ensemble cast and ups the ante with the addition of the all-powerful Meryl Streep. Streep plays Celeste's (Nicole Kidman) mother-in-law who comes to town seeking answers about the death of her son and testing the pact of secrecy made by the five women who know how he was killed--and who did it.

Papandrea, who joined with Reese Witherspoon to produce the hit films Gone Girl and Wild, also talks about what she learned from working with Hollywood legends Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella, and why more women need to be given the creative keys to the kingdom in the entertainment industry.
