Hollywood appears to be a lot closer than most of us would think....
Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning screenplay writer for the movie Juno, took home the gold man while holding back tears Sunday night. Cody, originally born as Brooke Busey, has lived quite the interesting life since graduating from the University of Iowa.
After receiving her diploma, she moved in with her boyfriend in Minnesota and began working as a stripper there. It was her experience in this field that allowed her to write her first book, Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper.
From there, she began writing more and more and her screenplay was finally picked up and, well, we know the rest now don't we? Cody currently has 3 more movies in the making, and is looking to make a serious name for herself in Hollywood.
Did I mention she went to my high school, also? --Benet Academy in Lisle, Illinois-- Basically, after I get my diploma from Iowa, all I need to do is find a part-time stripping job and start writing....right?
If only it were that easy...
