Amy Heckerling

Director | Writer | Producer | Actor

After attending New York University and studying Directing at AFI (class of 1974), Amy Heckerling directed GETTING IT OVER WITH (1977). When she later directed FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982), she gained a reputation for directing box office comedy smashes with a uniquely contemporary voice. She went on to direct JOHNYY DANGEROUSLY (1984), EUROPEAN VACATION (1985), LOOK WHO’’S TALKING (1989) and LOOK WHO’’S TALKING TOO (1990). In 1995 she returned to youth comedies, directing and writing CLUELESS (1995), a teen phenomenon with adult appeal. LOSER (2000), which Heckerling also wrote and directed, continued the trend.
