Director, producer and writer Callie Khouri turns 60 today. She studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in Los Angeles and began her film career as a production assistant on commercials and music videos in the mid-eighties. Her first film credit was as a production coordinator on Aria. During the late 1980s she began writing her first screenplay, about two women who take a vacation together that turns into an epic run from the law. It was, of course, Thelma & Louise, and Khouri won Best Original Screenplay, along with several other screenwriting honors.
Following her successful debut, Khouri was only intermittently active in film. She wrote the screenplay for Something to Talk About, and made her directing debut with Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, both of which received mixed reviews. She also devoted a lot of time to activism and to leadership roles in the WGA. She re-emerged in 2012 as the creator, executive producer, and director of several episodes of the ABC series Nashville, which now airs on CMT and will return for its sixth and final season in January.
