And not just by Harvey Weinstein.

Either thru being blacklisted like Sorvino and Judd, or by taking themselves out of the business entirely, like so many women we'll never know much about. When the Weinstein scandal broke, Tippi Hedrin ("The Birds" ) tweeted that she left the business when Hitchcock threatened her when she wouldn't comply with his inappropriate behavior. I always wondered about HER. How many other women have we lost the talents of this way?
