Did you know

Edit
  • Trivia
    Has surpassed Penny Marshall as the highest-grossing female director.
  • Quotes
    There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing, and romantic comedies are a classic genre.
  • Trademark
      The lead characters in her movies have a gorgeous kitchen.
