Women of Comedy at the Box Office
The fact that women can be as funny as – if not funnier – than men seems to be just recently coming to the attention of Hollywood execs Contributed By – Elizabeth Eckhart Now, we’re seeing a stream of female-centric comedies, and new leading ladies are finally receiving the attention they deserve. Of course, it has be a long road to get to today, where female driven comedies can bring box office numbers as big as their male counterparts. So, let’s take a look at some of the revolutionary ladies who changed the game (and made us laugh until we cried): Wanda Sykes – Primarily known as the too-sassy-for-her-own-good sidekick in…
