Amy Heckerling (born May 7, 1954) is an American writer, producer, and director. Heckerling started out her career after graduating from New York University. Her career started from independent films to directing major studio films.
Heckerling began her career after graduating from NYU and entering the American Film Institute, making small student films. She struggled to breakout into big films and was snubbed by Hollywood during her early career, up until the release of her breakout film Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). She has also directed the films Johnny Dangerously (1984), National Lampoon’s European Vacation (1985), Look Who’s Talking (1989), Clueless (1995), Loser (2000), I Could Never be Your Woman (2007) and Vamps (2012). She was also a producer on A Night at the Roxbury (1998) and executive producer on Molly (1999).
Many of Heckerling’s films were adapted as television series. Fast Times at Ridgemont High evolved into the series Fast Times (1986), while Clueless (1995) became a television series that ran from 1996 to 1999.
Heckerling is a recipient of AFI's Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal celebrating her creative talents and artistic achievements.
