TALKING POINT: MELISSA LEO

Melissa Leo, Golden Globe nominee as Best Supporting Actress for “The Fighter”, said to HFPA journalists: “I think that women being engaged and participating in boxing is a modern day kind of thing, that quite frankly, for my money, comes after Alice Ward’s time. When she was doing it, it was strictly a men’s game; so the world has come a long way.”
