Greta Gerwig adalah seorang aktris, penulis naskah drama, penulis skenario, dan sutradara Amerika yang tinggal di NY. Dia telah berkolaborasi dengan Noah Baumbach di beberapa film, termasuk Greenberg (2010), Frances Ha (2012), di mana dia mendapatkan nominasi Golden Globe, dan Mistress America (2015). Gerwig membuat debut penyutradaraan solonya dengan film drama komedi terkenal Lady Bird (2017), yang juga ia tulis, dan juga berperan dalam film Damsels in Distress (2011), Jackie (2016), dan 20th Century Women (2016). Greta Celeste Gerwig lahir di Sacramento, California, dari pasangan Christine Gerwig (née Sauer), seorang perawat, dan Gordon Gerwig, seorang konsultan keuangan dan pemrogram komputer. Dia memiliki keturunan Jerman, Irlandia, dan Inggris. Gerwig dibesarkan sebagai seorang Unitarian Universalis, tetapi juga bersekolah di sekolah Katolik khusus perempuan. Dia menggambarkan dirinya sebagai "anak yang intens". Dengan minat awal pada tari, ia bermaksud mendapatkan gelar di bidang teater musikal di New York. Dia lulus dari Barnard College di NY, tempat dia belajar bahasa Inggris dan filsafat. Awalnya berniat menjadi penulis naskah drama, setelah bertemu sutradara film muda Joe Swanberg, ia menjadi bintang dari serangkaian film intelektual beranggaran rendah yang dibuat oleh pembuat film pemula, sebuah tren yang dijuluki "mumblecore". Gerwig berperan dalam peran kecil dalam LOL Swanberg (2006) pada tahun 2006, saat masih belajar di Barnard. Dia kemudian muncul di banyak film Swanberg, dan secara pribadi ikut menyutradarai, ikut menulis, dan ikut memproduseri film berjudul Nights and Weekends (2008). Dia telah bekerja dengan sutradara berkualitas baik seperti Ti West (The House of the Devil (2009)), Whit Stillman (Damsels in Distress (2011)), atau Woody Allen (To Rome with Love (2012)) tetapi kesuksesan dan pengakuan (internasional) tidak datang sampai Frances Ha (2012), disutradarai oleh Noah Baumbach, sebuah film yang juga dia tulis bersama. Baik tinggi dan tidak dewasa, canggung dan anggun, melakukan kesalahan dan jujur, menyebalkan dan menarik, Greta telah memenangkan semua hati dalam peran utama Frances Ha(liday). Pada tahun 2017, ia menulis dan menyutradarai film remaja semi-otobiografi yang sangat terkenal Lady Bird (2017), berlatar tahun 2002-2003, dan dibintangi oleh Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, dan Timothée Chalamet. Pada tahun 2011, Gerwig menerima penghargaan Akting dari Festival Film Athena atas keseniannya sebagai salah satu aktris layar lebar Hollywood di generasinya.

Greta Gerwig is an American actress, playwright, screenwriter, and director based in NY. She has collaborated with Noah Baumbach on several films, including Greenberg (2010), Frances Ha (2012), for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination, and Mistress America (2015). Gerwig made her solo directorial debut with the critically acclaimed comedy-drama film Lady Bird (2017), which she also wrote, and has also had starring roles in the films Damsels in Distress (2011), Jackie (2016), and 20th Century Women (2016). Greta Celeste Gerwig was born in Sacramento, California, to Christine Gerwig (née Sauer), a nurse, and Gordon Gerwig, a financial consultant and computer programmer. She has German, Irish, and English ancestry. Gerwig was raised as a Unitarian Universalist, but also attended an all-girls Catholic school. She has described herself as "an intense child". With an early interest in dance, she intended to get a degree in musical theatre in New York. She graduated from Barnard College in NY, where she studied English and philosophy, instead. Originally intending to become a playwright, after meeting young film director Joe Swanberg, she became the star of a series of intellectual low budget movies made by first-time filmmakers, a trend dubbed "mumblecore". Gerwig was cast in a minor role in Swanberg's LOL (2006) in 2006, while still studying at Barnard. She then appeared in many of Swanberg's films, and personally co-directed, co-wrote and co-produced one entitled Nights and Weekends (2008). She has worked with good quality directors such as Ti West (The House of the Devil (2009)), Whit Stillman (Damsels in Distress (2011)), or Woody Allen (To Rome with Love (2012)) but success and (international) recognition did not come until Frances Ha (2012), directed by Noah Baumbach, a film she also co-wrote. Both tall and immature, awkward and graceful, blundering and candid, annoying and engaging, Greta has won all hearts in the title role of Frances Ha(liday). In 2017, she wrote and directed the highly acclaimed, semi-autobiographical teen movie Lady Bird (2017), set in 2002-2003, and starring Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, and Timothée Chalamet. In 2011, Gerwig received an award for Acting from the Athena Film Festival for her artistry as one of Hollywood's definitive screen actresses of her generation.
