LOS ANGELES — Amy Pascal, whose passion for stars and story marked her as one of the last of Hollywood’s old-style studio chiefs, has resigned as co-chairwoman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and as chairwoman of Sony’s motion picture group.
The move was announced by Sony on Thursday. It followed Ms. Pascal’s rough ride through a cyberattack against the studio that exposed emails in which she made denigrating remarks about President Obama’s presumed movie-viewing habits — disclosures that prompted profuse apologies from her.
