Dana Fox

Dana Fox—yeah, that Dana Fox—is one of those writers who just quietly keeps churning out hits while the rest of us are trying to figure out what to eat for breakfast. Born September 18, 1976, in Brighton, New York, she’s been behind the scenes on some seriously big projects. You’ve probably caught her work even if you didn’t know her name. “Wicked” (2024) is the latest on her resume—people have been buzzing about that one for ages, and she’s right in the thick of it. She’s also the brains behind “Cruella” (2021), which, let’s be honest, made us all weirdly sympathetic to a woman obsessed with Dalmatian fur, and “How to Be Single” (2016), which had more than a few of us nodding along and maybe wincing at some too-real moments. She’s not just juggling scripts, though. Dana’s been married to Quinn Emmett since October 23, 2010. That’s a legit Hollywood marriage, by the way, which has lasted way longer than most celebrity unions you hear about. Together, they’ve got three kids. Somehow, she manages all that—family, deadlines, and the chaos that is movie production—without breaking a sweat (at least, not in public). You wouldn’t know it from her low-key vibe, but Dana’s fingerprints are on some of the most memorable screen moments in recent years. She’s got this knack for blending sharp wit with genuine heart, and her stories just kind of stick with you. Not bad for a kid from upstate New York, right?
