...employ them. "I never look at gender or hair color or clothing," avers Steven Spielberg, who chose women to direct three of the 24 episodes for his Amazing Stories. "I look at talent." But every baby mogul knows he must be a businessman first, a booster second. Says Mark Canton, president of production at Warner Bros.: "Nobody hires a woman just because she's a woman.
