The first job screenwriter Meyers had in the industry was as a story editor for Oscar nominated producer Ray Stark.
Meyers, who went on to pen such modern comedy classics as “Private Benjamin,” “Baby Boom” and “It’s Complicated,” draws her inspiration from various sources, but she can never predict from where a screenplay idea will bloom. She shared six Emmy nominations for her work there, following an earlier one for the daytime “David Letterman Show,” and now she’s receiving the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement.
