Perhaps it's Meryl Streep's impassioned monologue on the power of cerulean in The Devil Wears Prada.
It might be Katherine Hagel singing drunkenly to Elton John in 27 Dresses.
Or it's Stanley Tucci uttering the immortal line, "'Gird your loins.'"
Whatever your entry point to the work of writer, director, showrunner and producer Aline Brosh McKenna, the chances are it lives in your head rent-free."
She was born in France, where her mother had survived the Nazi occupation.
The family moved to New Jersey when she was still a baby, and later, Brosch McKenna studied literature at Harvard.
After working as a freelance magazine writer in New York City, she took a six-week screenwriting course and moved to L.A., where she sold her first film script by the age of 26.
But it was at 38 that her life changed with the 2006 release of global smash hit The Devil Wears Prada, which earned her a BAFTA nomination for Best Screenplay.
