Greta Celeste Gerwig (/\u02c8\u0261\u025c\u02d0rw\u026a\u0261/ GUR-wig;^[1] born August 4, 1983) is an American actress, screenwriter, and film director. Initially known for working on various mumblecore films,^[2]^[3] she has since expanded from acting in and co-writing independent films to directing major studio films. Gerwig was included in the annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world in 2018.^[4]\n

Gerwig began her career working with Joe Swanberg on films such as Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007) and Nights and Weekends (2008).^[5] She has collaborated with her husband Noah Baumbach on several films, including Greenberg (2010) and Frances Ha (2012), for which she received a Golden Globe Award nomination, Mistress America (2015), and White Noise (2022). She also acted in such films as Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress (2011), Woody Allen's To Rome with Love (2012), Rebecca Miller's Maggie's Plan (2015), Pablo Larra\u00edn's Jackie (2016), Mike Mills' 20th Century Women (2016), and Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs (2018).^[6]^[7]\n

As a solo filmmaker, Gerwig has written and directed coming-of-age films Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019), and the fantasy-comedy Barbie (2023), all of which earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Picture.^[8] For Lady Bird, she received Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay,^[9] and for Little Women, she was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Barbie, which she co-wrote with Baumbach, became the only film from a solo female director to gross over $1 billion worldwide,^[10] and earned her a second Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.^[11]\n
