Sherry Lansing, All-Seeing Businesswoman
Sherry Lansing
Many thought that "Titanic" would sink; Sherry Lansing thought it would swim and has benefited handsomely.
According to columnist Liz Smith, businesswoman Lansing invested $60 million in the epic and ended up getting the money back ... 10-fold. She even entered into a deal where 20th Century Fox would foot the larger bills. So Lansing comes off as a modern-day genius. Smith says that the classy Lansing is in a class by herself. Makes us all wonder what will be her next big investment.
