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[edit]
Lewis attended Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and graduated from New York Institute of Technology in New York City.[4][5]
Career[edit]
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.[4] She chose and edited the videos that the duo watched and oversaw the writing and recording of their comments.[6] 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.[4][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]
