Aline Brosh McKenna is an American screenwriter, producer, and showrunner notable for her contributions to film and television, particularly in the romantic comedy genre. Born on August 2, 1967, in France, she graduated from Harvard University in 1989 and later studied screenwriting at New York University, which helped her secure an agent and launch her career in Los Angeles[1][2]. McKenna’s early career involved freelance writing and selling scripts in her mid-20s, with her first produced feature film being *Three to Tango* (1999), a romantic comedy starring Matthew Perry and Neve Campbell[1]. She gained widespread recognition for adapting Lauren Weisberger’s novel into the 2006 film *The Devil Wears Prada*, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, which earned her a BAFTA nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay[1][2]. This film is often noted for its focus on professional competence rather than a traditional romantic plot, reflecting McKenna’s interest in portraying complex, career-driven women[3]. Her other notable writing credits include *Laws of Attraction* (2004), *27 Dresses* (2008), *Morning Glory* (2010), and *I Don’t Know How She Does It* (2011), all of which center on women navigating their careers and personal lives with determination and humor[1][3][5]. In television, McKenna is best known as the co-creator and showrunner of the critically acclaimed musical dramedy *Crazy Ex-Girlfriend* (2015–2019), which earned praise for its innovative storytelling and nuanced portrayal of women’s experiences[2][7]. Most recently, she has worked as a producer on the 2023 film *Your Place or Mine*[2]. She is married to Will McKenna and has two children[2]. McKenna remains a significant figure in Hollywood for her focus on centering women's stories with depth and authenticity across multiple formats.
