Season 4 - Ep. 6: The Million Dollar Spec Script (Interview with Diane Drake)

Written By Isabel Thottam

In this episode, we get real deep and talk about heartbreak and how our perspectives on the romcom have evolved recently. Then, we interview the inspiring and fabulous Diane Drake, who wrote romcom hits, such as ONLY YOU and WHAT WOMEN WANT. Diane sold ONLY YOU for one million dollars in the 90s, no big deal, and WHAT WOMEN WANT is one of the highest-grossing romcoms of all time. **faints** She shares with us how she sold her first spec script, her thoughts on the golden age of romcoms, and what we can learn from her career. This chat was so special to us, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to bask in her presence.
