Biography
Diablo Cody's breakthrough came not from a film school degree but from a candid blog and memoir—Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper (2005)—that documented her time as an exotic dancer. Her screenwriting debut, Juno (2007), won the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay, making her a defining voice in indie cinema.

Her filmography spans Jennifer's Body (2009), Young Adult (2011), Ricki and the Flash (2015), Tully (2018), and Lisa Frankenstein (2024). In 2022, she made her Broadway debut with the Alanis Morissette musical Jagged Little Pill, earning the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical. As a screenwriter, Cody specializes in character-driven narratives that blend dark humor with emotional specificity—a signature approach across her work in film, television, and theater.
