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" pseudonymously named "Barry"; however, In the first editions of the book, the man's pseudonymous nature was not mentioned.[29] Two conservative websites, Breitbart and The National Review, attempted to track down Dunham's attacker, and their research led them and others to falsely associate the incident with a man named Barry who had attended the school at the time. Dunham apologized for what she called the "unfortunate and surreal coincidence" that led others to associate the man with her writing.[29] As part of an agreement, Random House, the publisher of the book, added a disclaimer to future editions explaining the attacker's pseudonymous nature.[30] 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."[31][undue weight? – discuss]

In November, a critical article about Dunham by Kevin D. Williamson in the conservative magazine National Review said that passages of the book implied that Dunham, when she was 7 years old, had behaved in a sexually inappropriate manner towards her infant sister.[32][33] Although the accusation was picked up by other conservative news outlets, it has been refuted by both Lena and Grace Dunham themselves, as well as psychologists, pediatricians, and sociologists, who describe the behavior as common and non-abusive, but inappropriate.[34][35][36][37] Debby Herbenick, a professor of human sexuality at Indiana University Bloomington, said that based on Dunham's writings, "there's not even anything sexual here," and that "it's common for young children to explore their own bodies and even those of friends or siblings in this way. That doesn't mean it's OK" and noted that it is the role of parents and teachers to help young children understand personal boundaries.[38] Dunham did apologize for a comedic use of the term 'sexual predator' in the book, which she described as insensitive and triggering.[37] 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]

Personal life

In 2012, Dunham began dating Jack Antonoff, lead guitarist of the band Fun. and the sole member of Bleachers.[40] She has stated that she will not get married until same-sex marriage is legalized.[41]

Dunham was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder as a child, and continues to take a low dose of an antidepressant to relieve her anxiety.[42][43]

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."[44]
