Raised in Haddonfield, New Jersey, Debra Hill was one of Hollywood's best-known and popular female producers. Her big break came in horror films when she and director John Carpenter wrote Halloween, followed by a chain of sequels. When she was honored by Women in Film in 2003, Ms. Hill said: "I hope some day there won't be a need for Women in Film. That it will be People in Film."
