About The Gracie Interview Series

While loved by millions, few knew the real Gracie Allen as she was always in character when in public. The Gracie Interview Series, presented by NCTA – The Internet and Television Association, serves to strip away the persona and share the grit and wisdom of today’s media professionals. The Alliance for Women in Media has interviewed women and men in media across every industry and job function who have blazed trails for those to come. 

If you have someone to suggest for a future Gracie Interview Series, we would love to hear from you. Please send ideas to info@allwomeninmedia.org.
