They can kill you but they can't eat you is the raw and personal story of one woman's American dream - of her dazzling, difficult, inspiring fight to the very top of the male ladder of success. A college dropout from a family in turmoil - a woman with no money, no connections, nothing but guts and ambition - Dawn Steel rose through the ranks to become president of Columbia Pictures in 1987, the first woman to run a major motion picture studio. This is a story of Hollywood glamour...of hit movies, starstudded parties, and celebrity friends...but it is also a story of tears shed behind a closed office door. It's about being labeled "tough, ballsy, aggressive, unfeminine," often by people who'd never met her; about deciding whether she should have a family; about learning how to be tough, not hard. Most of all, it's about what it means to achieve success, power, and happiness as a woman. After dropping out of college, Dawn Steel moved to New York City with little more than a willingness to improvise and be creative in order to succeed. She landed a job as a receptionist at a small company, went to work for Penthouse, got into a little trouble as an entrepreneur marketing Gucci toilet paper, and eventually soared to phenomenal success, moving from the president of production at Paramount Pictures to the presidency of Columbia Pictures in 1987. The hit movies she worked on include Flashdance, Awakenings, Top Gun, The Untouchables, The Accused, Flatliners, Ghostbusters II, Fatal Attraction, and the restored Lawrence of Arabia. In this riveting insider's view of Hollywood power, politics, and stars, Dawn Steel recounts her time at Paramount as one of the "Killer Dillers," the legendary few marked by brilliance, youth and ambition, who went on to run Hollywood. She absorbed strategies and knowhow from the powerful: Michael Eisner, Barry Diller, Mike Ovitz, Ray Stark, Herbert Allen, Victor Kaufman, and Jeffrey Katzenberg. Her network of friends and business relationship
