Tina Fey
Tina Fey is an American comedian, actress, writer, and producer who rose to prominence as head writer and performer on Saturday Night Live.
She created and starred in the sitcom 30 Rock and wrote the screenplay for Mean Girls.
Her portrayal of Sarah Palin during the 2008 election became culturally iconic.
I'm reading Tina Fey's memoir Bossypants.
She is widely credited with reshaping comedy writing for women in television.
