Amy Heckerling is one of the most popular and richest Director who was born on May 7, 1954 in Bronx, New York, United States. Director of the iconic movies Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Clueless.

She as well as Sofia Coppola became two of the most successful female directors of their generation.

Amy Heckerling (born May 7, 1954) is an American film director. An alumna of both New York University and the American Film Institute, she directed the commercially successful films Fast Times at Ridgemont High, National Lampoon’s European Vacation, Look Who’s Talking, and Clueless.

She graduated from high school in 1970, focused on directing and studying film at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Her father made just slightly over the cut-off for financial aid for the school, so Heckerling had to take out a large loan to cover her expenses. She claims this caused considerable stress in her life, and she was unable to pay them off until the end of her twenties. When Heckerling was in high school and focused on directing, her father was opposed to the idea, wishing that she had chosen a more practical aspiration. Despite this, he gave her Parker Tyler’s book Classics of the Foreign Film: A Pictoral Legacy. Heckerling pored over the book, marking off films that she had seen until she had eventually watched most of them. She claims that by the time she got to NYU, because of this book, she had seen almost all of the films that they had to watch in her classes. Though Heckerling considered her time at NYU to be a great time where she learned a lot and made great connections, such as Martin Brest and noted screenwriter and satirist Terry Southern who was one of her professors, she later reflects on her time at the school as sloppy and unprofessional, claiming that she used very low-quality equipment and had a lot of technical problems.

She had one daughter Mollie with her second spouse Neal Israel.

During her time at NYU, Heckerling was making mostly musicals. “I was the only one doing them and they were weird. It was the mid-70s and it was a bizarre combination of long hair with bell bottoms, the tail end of the hippie movement at its schlumpiest. With this, I sort of infused a 1930s idiotic grace that didn’t go with the post-Watergate mentality that was prevalent at the time. They were weird films, but they got me into AFI.”

… when I saw Angels with Dirty Faces, Cagney was walking to the electric chair. Now I never understood what was going on in those movies, I just knew I loved them. I knew something bad was happening because of the music, so I started crying and crying. My mother told me that Cagney was going to the chair because he was a bad guy, and that he was going to die. I didn’t know what that was, so she explained dying to me. It seemed pretty horrible, but then my mother told me that he wasn’t really going to die because he was in a movie. Well, it just all seemed to click then! That was the way to beat it! I could see James Cagney die a million times, but he was always there. This year [1986] I didn’t believe it really happened. I kept expecting Cagney to get up.
