Lena Dunham

This year, while the rest of you were slacking, Lena Dunham premiered her Emmy-nominated HBO comedy Girls, acted in Judd Apatow's latest film This is 40, and signed a book deal for more than $3.5 million. ''It's just been an embarrassment of riches,'' says the 26-year-old. In addition to these highlights, she says, ''The real amazing moments for me were getting to interview Nora Ephron about her movie This is My Life at the Brooklyn Academy of Music — that was an evening I'll never forget for my whole life — and getting to go to a test screening of This is 40. I kicked J.J. Abrams twice in the leg because I was so nervous.'' —Melissa Maerz
