Thomas Whiteside Captures Five Movers In Third Annual Women In Hollywood Issue For Porter Edit May 2018

Female Hollywood ensemble Lisa Nishimura, Lilly Singh, Kathryn Newton, Karen Gillan & Marielle Heller cover the May 25, 2018 third annual Women in Hollywood issue for Porter Edit. Alison Edmond styles the totally not-intimidating pastel parfait for images by Thomas Whiteside.

Lindsay Kindelson conducts the interview. 

'Avengers Infinity War's' and 'Doctor Who's' companion Karen Gillan on why she wanted to direct, write and star in 'The Party's Just Beginning:

When I was growing up, I had a video camera and I would make horror movies with my parents or friends. I didn’t think of directing as a female job, which is ridiculous, but I hadn’t seen any examples. Then I started working in the industry and thought: ‘I should just do this.’ It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Big Little Lies' Kathryn Newton on her most 'Hollywood' moment so far:

One of them was when I went to the London Film Festival for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and Frances McDormand had a dinner for us all the night before the premiere. It was in this really small French bistro outside of London with the whole cast, and I thought: ‘This is the coolest thing ever – no one knows where we are, these are some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and we’re having pizza.’

Fahrenheit 451's and YouTube sensation Lilly Singh on how she got Michelle Obama to appear in her #GirlLove series:

I said I wanted to do this thing that encourages women to compliment other women, and she was like, ‘Great!’ She was so cool and down to earth, and we sang Beyoncé together. It was lovely.

'Diary of a Teenage Girl director Marielle Heller on the challenges she has faced in Hollywood:

I had huge challenges trying to get people to accept that a movie about teenage female sexuality [The Diary of a Teenage Girl] was something anybody would want to see. One of my biggest challenges is being a working mother. I’m advocating for French hours on my next film: instead of a 12.5 hour workday with an hour lunch, it’s a ten-hour straight workday. If you can get home at the end of the day, see your child and put them to bed, it makes a huge difference.

Netflix's VP of Original Documentary and Comedy Programming Nisa Nishimura on the person most pivotal in her career.

Cindy Holland, who heads up all of Netflix’s Original Series and recruited me ten and a half years ago. To watch her lead has been remarkable. She’s not a person that’s intimidated by the greatness of others; she actually really celebrates that.
