Nina Jacobson's Prophetic Words on Getting Fired

That juicy LA gossip site Defamer has unearthed some video of axed-Disney production head Nina Jacobson discussing some of her early firings in Tinseltown. Nina, an openly-gay executive who headed Disney production for six years through some boffo box office periods and some lean ones too, learned of her firing last week on the same day her partner gave birth to their third child.

While it can't be much consolation after losing a job you loved, Jacobson is looking awfully smart this week after M. Night Shyamalan's "Lady in the Water" tanked so spectacularly its opening weekend and suffered from particularly brutal reviews from critics. Jacobson had helped establish Shyamalan with "The Sixth Sense" and through three more hit films for Disney. But when she bluntly told him she didn't like "Lady," he took it to a rival studio.

And the rest is history.
