Career

Klasky Csupo

Main article: Klasky Csupo

Klasky Csupo was formed with Gábor Csupó in the couple's two-bedroom Hollywood apartment in 1980.[2] The company later was moved to Seward Street in Hollywood. They designed the logos for 21 Jump Street, Anything but Love and In Living Color; produced music videos for Beastie Boys and Luther Vandross; Simpsons shorts for The Tracey Ullman Show; shorts for Sesame Street; and the opening titles for In Living Color.[3]

In 1989, after the birth of Klasky and Csupo's two sons, Klasky Csupo was asked by Nickelodeon for ideas, but Klasky felt she didn't have any since she mainly watched her sons go to the bathroom. Rugrats was inspired by the boys and what they would say if they could talk.[4] The series started in August 1991 with the unaired pilot "Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing". Rugrats went on to become one of Nickelodeon's most iconic and successful television series, winning three Emmy Awards.[5] Klasky was the creative force behind the box-office hits The Rugrats Movie and Rugrats in Paris: The Movie.[3]

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters premiered on Halloween in 1994, their second cartoon show to be aired on Nickelodeon. In 2003 she made the spin-off All Grown Up!; in the United States, it aired on Nickelodeon from 2003 to 2008, and has since aired reruns on TeenNick and Nicktoons.

Personal life

She was married to her business partner Gábor Csupó before they started their animation company and have two sons together from their marriage. Tommy Pickles' appearance from Rugrats is based on her younger son, Brandon. Her older son's name was Jarrett.[6] She is of Polish-Jewish and Russian-Jewish descent.[7]
