Ghostbusters (2016)
The script came from Feig and Katie Dippold. Kristen Wiig plays Erin Gilbert, a Columbia physics professor.
Actor: Kristen Wiig
Kristen Wiig was nominated for Best Original Screenplay for Bridesmaids, which she co-wrote with Annie Mumolo and starred in, and the film’s commercial success changed studio assumptions about female-led comedy.
She spent seven years on Saturday Night Live and is among its most successful alumni.
The Skeleton Twins and Welcome to Me show the dramatic capacity, and Wonder Woman 1984 gave her a franchise antagonist. She works frequently with the same collaborators from the improv scene.
