About Greta Gerwig
Meet Greta Gerwig, a talented American actress, playwright, screenwriter, and director based in New York. Gerwig is known for her collaborations with filmmaker Noah Baumbach, including "Greenberg" (2010), "Frances Ha" (2012), and "Mistress America" (2015). She earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in "Frances Ha".
Gerwig made her solo directorial debut with the critically acclaimed comedy-drama "Lady Bird" (2017), which she also wrote. She has also starred in films such as "Damsels in Distress" (2011), "Jackie" (2016), and "20th Century Women" (2016).
Born in Sacramento, California, Gerwig was raised in a Unitarian Universalist household but also attended an all-girls Catholic school. She originally intended to get a degree in musical theatre in New York, but ended up graduating from Barnard College with a degree in English and philosophy.
Gerwig began her film career as the star of a series of intellectual low-budget movies made by first-time filmmakers, a trend known as "mumblecore". She was cast in a minor role in Joe Swanberg's "LOL" (2006) and went on to co-direct, co-write, and co-produce "Nights and Weekends" (2008) with Swanberg. She has since worked with notable directors such as Ti West, Whit Stillman, and Woody Allen.
Gerwig's breakout role came in "Frances Ha" (2012), where she won over audiences with her portrayal of an awkward and candid young woman. In 2017, she wrote and directed the highly acclaimed coming-of-age film "Lady Bird", which earned her numerous accolades, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. Gerwig is also a recipient of the Athena Film Festival's Acting Award for her artistry as one of Hollywood's definitive screen actresses of her generation.
