Greta Celeste Gerwig is an American actress and filmmaker. She first garnered attention after working on and appearing in several mumblecore films. Since the early 2010s, Gerwig has collaborated with her partner, Noah Baumbach, on several films, including Greenberg (2010), Frances Ha (2012), and Mistress America (2015). Gerwig's solo directorial ventures were the coming-of-age films Lady Bird (2017) and Little Women (2019), both of which earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Gerwig's films tend to be based on her own experiences. Her works have common themes: the growth and emotional maturation of the leading woman, and relationships among family members, friends, and significant others, with a special interest in female dynamics. Characters are reportedly never villainized, and all are sympathetic. She tends to imbue her films with a unique and specific deadpan sense of humor.
