His mother, Ann Lee (née Jeffries) Stearns, originally from Kentucky, was a teacher at Riverdale Country School as Lee Whedon,〔''Riverdalian'', (Riverdale Country School, the Bronx, yearbook), 1971, p. 17; and 1972, p. 22〕 and an aspiring novelist.〔 His parents had both acted, and appeared in a play together at the Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club.〔 Whedon is the younger sibling of Samuel and Matthew Whedon and older sibling of writers Jed and Zack Whedon.〔Rochell D.

Whedon attended Riverdale Country School in New York City where his mother taught history.

There, he also studied under renowned academic Richard Slotkin. After leaving Wesleyan, Whedon came up with the first incarnation of Buffy Summers, "Rhonda, the Immortal Waitress". 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「Joss Whedon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
