Susie Lewis Explained

Susie Lewis
Birth Place:Oceanside, New York, U.S.
Occupation:Writer, television producer, voice actress

Susie Lewis is an American writer and producer. She is best known for co-creating and producing the first three seasons of the MTV adult animated series Daria,[1] [2] [3] which originally aired from March 1997 to January 2002.

Personal life

Lewis attended Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and graduated from New York Institute of Technology in New York City.[4]

Career

Lewis's career began after she applied for an internship at MTV and then began working on Beavis and Butt-Head producing the music video segments. She chose and edited the videos that the duo watched and oversaw the writing and recording of their comments.[5] She and Glenn Eichler were later asked to become co-creators for a spin-off of the show called Daria, built around the character Daria Morgendorffer, who originally appeared as the intelligent, sarcastic foil to Beavis and Butthead.[6] [7] Daria came at a request for a "show for girls" from MTV executives, so it was fitting that one of the co-creators would be a woman, and that women would be a significant presence on the writing and directing teams.[8]
