Hollywood Icon Bobbie Shaw Chance Joins a Defining Documentary on Feminine Power and Leadership

LOS ANGELES , CA, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bobbie Shaw Chance, a name that shaped generations of performers, is stepping into the spotlight once more, this time as a voice for feminine leadership in The Rise of the Lioness: The Power of Feminine Leadership, a new documentary from The Los Angeles Tribune that celebrates and amplifies the voices and achievements of women leaders.

Chance began her Hollywood career in the golden era of 1960s cinema, bringing a magnetic blend of charm and confidence to the screen. She captured America’s attention on sun-drenched sets alongside Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello in Beach Blanket Bingo, Ski Party, and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. She was the wide-eyed ingénue with a spark that hinted at something deeper—a blend of grit and grace that would outlast the beach party era.

Decades later, that spark has become a flame. Today, Chance is celebrated not only for her filmography but for her transformative work as one of Hollywood’s most respected acting coaches. Through her acclaimed studio, Hollywood Actor’s Showcase, she has guided countless performers, beginners, and A-listers alike—toward finding their truth on stage and screen. Her philosophy is as direct as it is disarming: “You can’t buy it. You can’t fake it. You gotta be it to become it.”

For Chance, the lioness archetype reflects the same presence and power she’s spent a lifetime drawing out in others. “In acting, as in life, your power comes from being fully present, fully yourself,” she says. “That’s the kind of leadership that changes people—it’s personal, it’s fearless, and it’s real.”
Chance’s presence in The Rise of the Lioness: The Power of Feminine Leadership feels inevitable. Her work is grounded in authenticity and the courage to own one’s voice, the very qualities the film seeks to illuminate. The documentary offers an intimate, wide-reaching look at women who are reshaping what leadership means—not by abandoning strength, but by expanding its definition to include empathy, intuition, and depth.

The Rise of the Lioness explores how this feminine model of leadership is transforming industries, cultures, and communities from the inside out. Its mission is to amplify the voices of women leaders and inspire future generations to lead with clarity, compassion, and conviction.

The documentary spotlights women who defy convention and redefine influence, including Sharon Lecter, Sonia Choquette, and Alisha Das. Featured voices span sectors from business and media to sports, education, the arts, health, and philanthropy—women who, like Chance, uplift others, disrupt outdated models, and build legacies that transcend industries and borders.

Executive produced and co-directed by Dawna Campbell, Executive Vice President of The Los Angeles Tribune and Director of its Film Division, and Dr. Angela Kung, Mrs. Asia USA, The Rise of the Lioness reflects a shared vision: to build a world where women’s leadership is recognized, celebrated, and foundational for future generations. Kung puts it simply: “True leadership isn’t about dominance—it’s about devotion. Devotion to growth, to community, to lifting others as we rise. That’s what this film stands for, and that’s the world we’re building.”

Chance will take the stage at the inaugural Los Angeles Tribune International Film Festival, joining Campbell and Kung at the AMC30 in Orange, California. The three-day event, running August 14 through 16, will welcome celebrities, producers, and directors from 24 countries, and culminates in an awards ceremony where Chance will be honored with the Festival’s Lifetime Achievement Award for her contributions to Hollywood and filmmaking. The international festival will be showcasing 33 of the 83 total entries and is open to the public. For more information, visit the film festival official site here.

Her impact extends far beyond the screen; it lives in the voices she’s helped shape, the stories she’s inspired, and the countless lives she’s touched along the way.
