Lena Dunham (/ˈlinə ˈdʌnəm/ LEE-nə DUN-um; born May 13, 1986)[1] is an American actress, author, screenwriter, producer, and director.[2] She wrote and directed the independent film Tiny Furniture (2010), and is the creator, writer and star of the HBO series Girls. She has received eight nominations for Emmy Awards as a writer, director, actress and producer and won two Golden Globe Awards for Girls. Dunham is the first woman to win a Directors Guild Award for Outstanding Director in a Comedy Series.

Early life

Dunham was born in New York City.[3] Her father, Carroll Dunham, is a painter, and her mother, Laurie Simmons, is an artist and photographer, and a member of the Pictures group, known for her use of dolls and doll-house furniture in her photographs of setup interior scenes.[4][5] Dunham has described herself as feeling "very culturally Jewish, although that's the biggest cliché for a Jewish woman to say”; her father is Protestant, and her mother is Jewish.[6][7]

She has a younger sister, Grace, a 2014 graduate of Brown University, who appeared in Dunham's first film, Creative Nonfiction, and starred in her second film, Tiny Furniture.[8] The sisters were raised in Brooklyn, New York and spent summers in Salisbury, Connecticut.[9]

Dunham attended Saint Ann's School in Brooklyn, where she met Tiny Furniture actress and future Girls co-star Jemima Kirke.[10][11] She graduated in 2008 from Oberlin College, where she studied creative writing.[12]

Career

Dunham's 2010 feature film Tiny Furniture won Best Narrative Feature at South by Southwest Music and Media Conference, and subsequently screened at such festivals as Maryland Film Festival.[13] Dunham plays the lead role of Aura.[5] Laurie Simmons (Lena Dunham's real-life mother) plays Aura's mother, and Lena's real-life sister Grace plays Aura's on-screen sister.

Dunham's television series Girls was greenlit by HBO in early 2012.[14] Judd Apatow is the executive producer.[15] Three episodes were screened to positive response at the 2012 South by Southwest Festival.[16] The first season premiered April 15, 2012, and has garnered Dunham four Emmy nominations for her roles in acting, writing, and directing the series and two Golden Globe wins for Best Comedy Series for Girls and for herself in Best Lead Actress in a Comedy or Musical Series. In February 2013, she became the first woman to win a Directors Guild Award for Outstanding Director in a Comedy Series for her work on Girls.[17] In January 2015, Girls was renewed for a fifth season.[18]

In fall of 2012, Dunham appeared in a video advertisement promoting President Barack Obama's re-election, delivering a monologue, which, according to a blog quoted in The Atlantic, tried to "get the youth vote by comparing voting for the first time to having sex for the first time".[19] Fox News reported "intense criticism" from multiple media sources, who labeled the advertisement as "tasteless and inappropriate", but added that "not everyone was so offended".[20] In The Nation, Ari Melber wrote "the ad’s style is vintage Lena: edgy and informed, controversial but achingly self-aware, sexually proud and affirmatively feminist."[21]

In February 2014, Dunham was named the Recipient of Horizon Award 2014 by Point Foundation for her support to the gay community.[22] She hosted Saturday Night Live on March 8, 2014 with musical guest The National.[23] On February 20, 2015, it was reported that Dunham had been cast in a currently unknown guest role in an episode of the ABC drama series Scandal.[24]

Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned"

On October 8, 2012, Dunham signed a $3.5 million deal with Random House to publish her first book.[25] Published in September 2014, the essay collection was entitled Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned".[26][27] She dedicated the foreword of the book to the late Nora Ephron.[27]

In the book, Dunham recounts a party where she was "alone, drunk and high on Xanax and cocaine."[28] She details an alleged sexual assault by an Oberlin College classmate, described as a "creepy", "mustachioed campus Republican" named Barry. In the first editions of the book, there were no mentions of "Barry" being a pseudonym.[29]

Aaron Minc, a lawyer for a man named Barry (later called "Barry One"), who bore a resemblance to the man named by Dunham, described it as "detailed enough to cast a pall over a former student who has had to defend himself against Dunham's accusation that he raped her", according to the Hollywood Reporter. "Barry One" set up a legal fund online to pursue legal action against Dunham and her publisher.[30] "Barry One"'s counsel stated that 'Despite multiple requests ... Dunham has not issued any sort of statement clearing Barry's name and clarifying the confusion that is happening.'”[31] On December 9, 2014, Dunham stated "Barry" was a pseudonym. Minc said that as part of an agreement Random House, the publisher of the book, will add a disclaimer to explain that the name "Barry" was a pseudonym.[32] Journalist and author Naomi Schaefer Riley wrote that Dunham's book accused "an easily identifiable student on campus of rape without any fact checkers or lawyers flagging the passage."[33][undue weight? – discuss]

In the same book, Dunham describes instances of sexual activity with her sister Grace, including genital play when Lena was 7 and Grace was 1, which was categorized by a conservative website as "sexual abuse". [34][35] On the issue of whether Dunham's behavior was "sexually reactive", David Finkelhor, a sociologist who has done extensive research into child sexual abuse, said "a judgment would typically require more than a single episode, especially in younger children who may not be aware of norms." Psychologist Sharon Lamb also opined that the incidents described in the book were "within the norms of childhood sexual behavior", and that “[I]t wouldn't be sex offender wrong, it would be inappropriate.”[36] In a statement to Time, Dunham said that she was "dismayed" over the negative reactions readers and critics had to the sections. She called childhood sexual abuse "a life-shattering event for so many", and spoke about her advocacy for survivors. She said that "if the situations described" were "painful or triggering" for readers, she apologized, "as that was never [her] intention". Regarding the use of the term "sexual predator", Dunham expressed remorse as well, saying that the "comic use" was insensitive.[37][38] Dunham ended by calling Grace her "best friend", and anything written about her was published with approval. Grace defended Lena on Twitter, accusing the "state" and "media" of using heteronormativity to "deem certain behaviours harmful", and encouraged people to "think about how we police the sexualities of young women, queer, and trans people".[39] In the wake of the controversy, she said "I don’t care what conservative white men think about me. But I do care if anything I write is painful for survivors of sexual abuse, if anything I write is painful for other feminists."[40][40]

Personal life

In 2012, Dunham began dating Jack Antonoff, lead guitarist of the band Fun. and the sole member of Bleachers.[41] She has stated that she will not get married until same-sex marriage is legalized.[42]

Dunham was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder as a child, and continues to take a low dose of an antidepressant to relieve her anxiety.[43][44]

In a January 2015 interview, at the Golden Globes Awards ceremony, Dunham said that she had removed the Twitter social media app from her handset, due to personal attacks; however, she added that she continues to use the platform "occasionally."[45]
