Tina FeyBirth Chart

Tina Fey is an American comedian, actress, writer and producer, known for turning personal and professional experiences into cornerstones of contemporary comedy. She rose to prominence with the improvisation troupe The Second City and built her career at Saturday Night Live, where she worked as a writer and became head writer, in addition to co-anchoring the long-running Weekend Update segment. Her political satire and comic timing broadened her national profile. In 2004 she adapted and co-starred in the film Mean Girls and, after leaving SNL, created and starred in 30 Rock, a series inspired by her behind-the-scenes experience in television that established her reputation as a showrunner and sharp comedy writer. In film she has led comedies such as Baby Mama and appeared in productions like Date Night and Megamind. Over the course of her career, Fey has received multiple awards, including several Emmys, Golden Globes and Writers Guild Awards, and was honored in American comedy with the Mark Twain Prize. Her work — distinguished by political satire, economical writing and skill as a performer — has left a mark on television comedy and opened space for female voices in authorship and presentation roles.
