Mariel Hemingway leads women’s panel at Santa Barbara Literary Festival

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) Actor and author Mariel Hemingway led a panel discussion on the final day of the first Santa Barbara Literary Festival.

The panel entitled "Women's Health, Wealth and Happiness" got personal.

Hemingway's panel featured " A Boob's Life" author Leslie Lehr and "What's Up with Women and Money" author Alison Kosik.

Hemingway looks forward to its continuing success.

"Just the brilliance of bringing like-minds together, but slightly different and different perspectives on the world, I think it is always going to be a positive and wonderful thing, I think it absolutely has to happen every single year," said Hemingway.

Other panels on Sunday included the Art of the script at the Karpeles Museum and a CrimeTime panel at the Alhecama Theatre and the Bespoke Print Faire at the Pico Adobe.

Readers had a chance to buy books and get autographs after each discussion.

SBLF founders Leslie Zemeckis and Larissa Rinehart plan to make it an annual event.
