Did you know
- TriviaShe is the first woman in history to win in the comedy writing and directing categories at the same Primetime Emmys.
- Quotes[about working with Sherilyn Fenn on Gilmore Girls (2000)] I love Sherilyn so much and I don't care [to cast her for two different roles on "Gilmore Girls"]. One thing about the show is I just want the best people. I've just been looking constantly for a time to work with Sherilyn, and I'm getting very old and I could just get hit by a truck at any minute. I just simply can't put it off that long, so I'd just rather get her in and have her part of my world.
- TrademarksHer work is usually executed in a screwball-comedy style, with rapid fire delivered dialogue full of obscure pop culture references.
