This year’s honorees at New York Women in Communications’ (NYWICI)  annual Matrix Awards included PBS’ Gwen Ifill, Betty White, A&E president Abbe Raven, Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook and others, but it was PMK*BNC Chairman and CEO Cindi Berger who flexed the real star power.

First, Rosie O’Donnell presented Berger with her award, praising her as a “kick-ass” publicist and friend. “Without her, I don’t think I would still be around. I’d be on the macadamia nut farm with Roseanne Barr, wearing overalls, going ‘what the ____ happened?”

“What I learned from Cindi Berger is how to love, and how to be committed, and how the people that are in your life stay in for the long haul, because no one gets out unscathed,” O’Donnell continued.
