3. Debette, an old Hollywood starlet, was obviously thrilled to be part of the round table.
4. And the moderator posed important questions, like asking the women about some of the challenges they’d faced in their careers.
5. For Debette, the biggest challenge was dealing with all those uppers and downers.

Watch it here and have yourself an excellent end to the weekend.
