“The women who made me”
The star of Ghostbusters and Mike & Molly discusses her dream team.
Ellen DEGENERES
Comedienne and TV host When Ellen chose to come out on her TV series Ellen, it damaged her career to the point that she didn’t think that she would get it back. But she did, and she paved the way for women to be able to say, “This is who I am, and I don’t have to act any other way.”
Jane Goodall
Anthropologist
and author I saw Jane speak when I was in university. Hearing her talk about her work in the jungle had an incredible impact on me at 18.
Julie Bean
TV producer There usually aren’t many women writing on a TV series. Julie has maintained herself in a ‘boys club’ so well, and I’m always glad that she has my back.
angelina Jolie
Actress and
activist Angelina is someone who could lead a very pampered life, yet she’s chosen to focus on children and on people who don’t have a voice. She doesn’t have to do it; she just chooses to live the right way.
BJÖRK
Musician When I was younger, I was called Sugarcube – like Björk’s former band The Sugarcubes – because I looked and dressed like her. I love the visual aesthetic that she puts into her music. Start with her videos; you’re going to lose several hours of your life.
Diana nyad
Swimmer What a wonderful maniac she is, right? At 64, she did a long-distance swim from Havana, Cuba to Key West, US. I always think about how many naysayers Diana had to listen to. We live in an age where there’s so much tearing down of women, so someone who decides not to take that in is extremely badass.
louise Bourgeois
Fine artist I had a big poster in my university res room of Louise in a dark fur coat, holding an enormous phallic object. She didn’t gain fame as an artist until late in her life, but she kept living and making art how she wanted regardless.
Hillary Clinton
Politician It’s so important for young women and girls to see female politicians. And I’m so excited that Hillary is running for presidency in the US this year.
nicole Holofcener
Film director She chose a path that allowed her to make the exact type of films she wanted. Someday, I hope I can coerce Nicole into letting me work with her.
sandy Mccarthy
Melissa’s mother When I told my mom all of the crazy things I wanted to do, she looked at me and said, “Why wouldn’t you?” I’ve asked her, “Why in the world didn’t you tell me to try something else?” She goes, “You wanted to do it, so I just told you to do it.” I got hit with the lucky stick, because that’s the person who encouraged me.
ibra Keep positive Although you’re excelling at work, you’ll be feeling a bit emotional, so when conflict arises, try not to take things to heart. Your best work days are between 6-30 August. Financially, you’re thriving, and you may be dealing with other people’s money – structure it in a profitable way that makes sense. Expect great food, excellent wine and intimate nights in with your partner. Single? You’ll be on a sexual high, and will feel your values being tested as a result. Stick to healthy addictions that will get you spiritually high, like yoga.
23 Sep-22 OCT
agittarius Let your creativity flow Your career is in an excellent place, and your co-workers look up to you and admire your generous spirit, so now is the time to express your creative ideas.

Money wise, positive changes are afoot. Look to 12-13 August for relaxed days in which to take time out and recharge. Your health will benefit from cardio at this time, so grab your galpals and get your heart rate up!
