Background
Gore was raised in Washington, D.C., graduated from National Cathedral School in 1995 and from Harvard University in 1999.[2] While at Harvard, she was an editor for Harvard Lampoon. Until her senior year at Harvard, she was the only woman on the literary board of Harvard Lampoon: "I didn't know its reputation at all", she says. "It was just that the funniest people I knew at Harvard were on the Lampoon, so I looked into it and it ended up being one of the best things I did."[3]
Career
Gore has published three novels, Sammy's Hill (2004), Sammy's House (2007), and Sweet Jiminy (2011).[4][5][6] She co-wrote the screenplay for the 2015 film Accidental Love,[7] and the narration for the 2007 documentary Arctic Tale. She was also a writer for the animated sitcom Futurama and the long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live.[3]
In 1999, Gore sang backup vocals on a Diva Zappa comedy single called "When The Bell Drops" about Zappa's "hunt for someone to make out with on the Millennium".[8] Tipper Gore played drums on the recording.[9]
In 2013, she worked on Spike Jonze's film Her (she doesn't say in what capacity), and has written a screenplay called Racing Dreams that Lance Acord will direct.[10]
Personal life
Gore married Paul Cusack, a former district director for former Massachusetts United States Representative Marty Meehan, in 2005. The couple divorced in 2009.[11] She is married to okgo frontman Damian Kulash. Gunther, Erik. "Exclusive: OK Go's Damian Kulash and Former VP's Kid Kristin Gore Buy".</ref>
