Diablo Cody life and biography

Diablo Cody is an American screenwriter, writer, blogger, journalist, and author. She was first known for her candid chronicling of her year as a stripper in her Pussy Ranch blog and her 2006 memoir, Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper. Cody achieved critical acclaim worldwide for the script of the 2007 film Juno, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Diablo Cody is the pseudonym of Brook Busey, the Oscar-winning writer of Jason Reitman's 2007 film Juno (starring Ellen Page). The quick version of Cody's life is as famous as her movie: college graduate, then stripper, then blogger about being a stripper. The buzz around her blog, Pussy Ranch, led to a book deal, and at the age of 24 she published a memoir titled Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper (2005). Her naughty-but-nonthreatening backstory made her a media darling in 2007, and her Oscar for Juno sealed her place as a celebrity writer. With Steven Spielberg she created the cable series The United States of Tara in 2008. She also wrote the Megan Fox grrl-power horror movie Jennifer's Body (2009).

Diablo Cody married Dan Maurio in 2009; at the time of their marriage, he was on the off-camera staff of the late-night show Chelsea Lately. Their first child, Marcello Daniel Maurio, was born on 28 July 2010.
