Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach first entered Hollywood’s radar with the ever-quirky indie comedy ‘Frances Ha,’ but their well-hidden love story stretches far beyond the confines of that now-cult film.
The pair are two of the hottest directors right now, since Gerwig's 2017 film ‘Lady Bird’ in 2019's ‘Little Women’ earned her multiple Oscar nominations, and Baumbach’s 2019 ‘Marriage Story’ starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver also earned him a nod from the Academy. They've taken it to the next level in 2023 by collaborating on Gerwig's immensely promoted 'Barbie' movie, which they co-wrote and she directed. 'Barbie' made history on its first weekend as the biggest box office debut from a female director, and is now plowing ahead to reach the rare milestone of US$1 billion in ticket sales.
Indeed, they’ve always made a brilliant and charming filmmaking team, but somewhere along the way they also found out they were soulmates, though they managed to keep that a secret for quite a while. Click through to read Hollywood’s untold story of a couple who fell in love making movies.
