Brook Busey-Maurio (born June 14, 1978), better known by the pen name Diablo Cody, is an American screenwriter, producer, director, author, journalist, and memoirist. She first became known for her candid chronicling of her year as a stripper in her "The Pussy Ranch" blog and in her memoir ''Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper'' (2005). Later, Cody achieved critical acclaim for her debut script ''Juno'' (2007), winning awards such as the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay. She is also known for creating, writing and producing Showtime's television series ''United States of Tara'' (2009–2011) and for writing and producing the films ''Jennifer's Body'' (2009) and ''Young Adult'' (2011). For the latter, she received a second nomination for the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay. Her directorial debut, ''Paradise'', was released on October 18, 2013. ==Early life and career== Cody and her older brother Marc were born and raised in Lemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. She is the daughter of Pam and Greg Busey. Her mother is of Italian descent and her father is of British ancestry.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G23CRWNF3IU; stated at 19:55〕 Cody was raised Catholic and attended Benet Academy, a Roman Catholic school in Lisle, Illinois. She took the pen name Diablo Cody (''diablo'' is Spanish for "devil") after repeatedly listening to the song "El Diablo" by Arcadia while passing through Cody, Wyoming.〔 She graduated from the University of Iowa with a media studies degree. While at the University of Iowa, she worked in the acquisitions department in the main university library. Her first jobs were doing secretarial work at a Chicago law firm and later proofreading copy for advertisements that played on Twin Cities radio stations. Cody began a parody weblog called ''Red Secretary'', detailing the (fictional) exploits of a secretary living in Belarus. The events were thinly-veiled allegories for events that happened in Cody's real life, but told from the perspective of a disgruntled, English-idiom-challenged Eastern Bloc girl. Her first ''bona fide'' blog appeared under the nickname ''Darling Girl'' after she had moved from Chicago to Minneapolis, Minnesota.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diablo Cody」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
