Amy Heckerling (born May 7, 1954) is an American film director, one of the few female directors to have produced multiple box-office hits.
Heckerling again had a massive hit with Look Who's Talking (1989), which starred John Travolta and Kirstie Alley raising a baby voiced by Bruce Willis. It has a 59% on critic aggregator Rotten Tomatoes and spawned two sequels, the first of which (1990's Look Who's Talking Too), Heckerling also directed.
She wrote and directed an adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma, putting the story in another fictional Los Angeles high school, to produce Clueless (1995) starring Alicia Silverstone. Five years later, Heckerling directed and produced Loser (2000), a romantic college comedy with Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari. The film was not successful at the box office.
Heckerling's most recent project was the romantic comedy I Could Never Be Your Woman, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd, which did not receive a theatrical release in the United States. Heckerling also directed an early episode of the NBC version of The Office.
She is currently directing the horror-comedy film Vamps with Sigourney Weaver, Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter, about two vampires who fall in love and must face a choice that could jeopardise their immortality.
