Russian Doll co-creator: "It's time to take a hard look at the myth of the auteur"

The Hollywood Reporter

"As a creator, I know that absolutely nobody gets anything good done alone," says Leslye Headland. "One of the many positive effects of #MeToo and Time's Up is this sudden acknowledgment of creative women who were overshadowed by the stories of the men in their lives." Pointing to FX's Fosse/Verdon, she adds: "Women have always been major collaborators with men, yet we're often stuck with this story of a guy who came up with everything on his own, never ran it by anybody and didn't respect anybody's opinion. It's wild the stuff that we didn't put in the history books, but now we're taking a look at it."
