Winnie Holzman is the writer (with renowned composer/ lyricist Stephen Schwartz) of the hit musical "Wicked," which has been running for over 20 years on Broadway, and has been produced all over the world. She also co-wrote both screenplays for the movie adaptations of "Wicked."

After graduating from Princeton University, she was accepted into the first class of the newly formed NYU Musical Theatre Program, where she studied with such luminaries as Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim.

Relocating to Los Angeles, she was asked to join the writing staff of the groundbreaking TV drama "thirtysomething," and went on to create another memorable TV series-- "My So-Called Life."

Other TV credits include "Once and Again," (reuniting with her mentors, Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz) "Huge" ( collaborating with her daughter, Savannah Dooley) and "Roadies" (with Cameron Crowe).

Also an actress, she appeared in the movie Jerry Maguire and as Larry David’s wife’s therapist on "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
