First Female Fox TV Chief: Rupert Murdoch 'Called Me a Feminazi'

[Hollywood producer] Dawn Steel and I would be looking at a monitor and Hillary would be on and he’d say, ‘You like her, don’t you?’ In meetings, I’d say something, and he would say, ‘Well, what does your husband think?’” She left the company in 1997.
