The Women’s Image Network (WIN) is a nonprofit charity that encourages positive portrayals of girls and women in film, television, gaming and advertising. It has produced the WIN awards since 1993 to honor outstanding individuals in politics, business, music and the media who promote gender parity through their creativity and leadership. The awards ceremony, in its 15th year, will take place Dec. 11 at the Hollywood Palladium.
Among honorary awards, the 2013 honorees include the Living Legend recipient, Cecilia DeMille Presley, and the Special Achievement recipient, Rosalind Jarrett Sepulveda.
Presley is a philanthropist who has contributed to, among others, the American Film Institute film school, USC School of Cinematic Arts, World Society for the Protection of Animals and Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. She is the vice president of the National Film Preservation Foundation.
“She’s very modest and private about her contributions, but people in the academies understand what an enormous philanthropist she’s been and what a great believer in supporting film preservation,” said Stuart.
Presley is the granddaughter of Cecil B. DeMille, who was known as an advocate for getting women involved in film. “My grandfather was a great believer in the artistic value of women,” said Presley. “He was famous for hiring women screenwriters, researchers and assistant directors in all facets of film, from the first silent films on. He taught me the value of being a woman, and an activist.”

Sepulveda, the executive in charge of publicity for the Screen Actors Guild Awards for the past 14 years, has been a mentor for young women in the industry and an advocate for more diversity in film. “She has a heart of gold,” said Stuart. “She’s known in the industry as one of the kindest people. She mentored a lot of people and gives free advice to women.”
Stuart says an advisory board of professionals in film and television vote on the nominations. “We ask them to evaluate the material based on all the criteria that they would use to produce their own shows,” she said.
