Tabankin holds the same position at both the Barbra Streisand Foundation and the Hollywood Women's Political Committee, which includes 225 of the film industry's most influential women. She will keep her post at the foundation, but she is relinquishing the one on the committee.Tabankin said it was impossible to estimate what Spielberg's earnings from the film will be.
