Hilary Henkin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hilary Henkin (born November 19, 1962, New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American screenwriter and producer, nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award in 1997 for her work on the screenplay of Wag the Dog. The screenplay was originally credited to David Mamet until the Writers Guild of America intervened on Henkin's behalf to see that Henkin was credited for devising the structure of the screenplay, which she adapted from Larry Beinhart's novel American Hero. Her other screenplays include V for Vendetta (2006), Romeo Is Bleeding (1993), Road House (1989), Lost Angels (1989), Fatal Beauty (1987), Flowers in the Attic, Blue Heaven, Prisoners (1981), and Headin' for Broadway (1980). During the 1970s, she worked as a go-go dancer in New York City.
