  Film | Julia Phillips
The film producer and writer Julia Phillips, who has died of cancer aged 57, was the first woman to receive an Oscar for best picture - an award she shared for producing The Sting (1973) with her husband Michael, and former actor Tony Bill.
Nearly 30 years after the event, Phillips' breakthrough may seem a modest achievement, but she was, in fact, one of the very few women to break into the upper echelons of movie-making in a town created by tough studio bosses, all of whom were ruthless and chauvinistic.
Phillips admitted that her cocktail for surviving the Oscars night had been, "a diet pill, a small amount of coke, two joints, three valium and a glass-and-a-half of wine".
