38. DIABLO CODY
AGE 29
JOB TITLE Screenwriter
SMART BECAUSE Not since John Hughes has anyone mined the adolescent soul with such clarity and compassion. Next month's Juno is her first produced screenplay, but this former stripper's tender teen comedy has Hollywood in its thrall. Spielberg was an early fan, hiring her to write his Showtime pilot, The United States of Tara.
REEL POWER Warner Bros. wanted in on the Cody business so badly, it already has dibs on her next original screenplay.
