Birnbaum has a personal connection to the cause. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 17 and had a recurrence at age 20.

“I first got involved with Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance because of my belief in the importance of early detection and research into all gynecologic cancers,” Birnbaum said. “I’m honored to join the Board of Directors today to continue to honor that commitment. Women of all ages, their families, and their healthcare providers need to be better educated about the symptoms of cancer, and we need to fund more research into treatments and cures.”

Birnbaum joined what was then Amazon Studios in late 2018. Before that she spent five years as PvNew‘s executive editor of television. She was also president and editor in chief of TV Guide for seven years, and she worked as a writer and editor for Us Weekly and the New York Post.
