Jane Anderson’s had an enviable career. The Emmy-winning screenwriter got her start as an actress in New York City in the ‘70s, starring in David Mamet’s first hit play, Sexual Perversity in Chicago. In the ’80s, she moved to L.A. to write movies. She went on to pen the scripts for a number of big-screen hits, including It Could Happen to You and How to Make an American Quilt, and to work on some of the best shows on TV (The Wonder Years, Mad Men). Last week, she scored her fifth Emmy nod for her adaptation of Olive Kitteridge, an HBO miniseries starring Frances McDormand.
