Annie Mumolo (born July 10, 1973) is an American
Early life
Mumolo was born in Irvine, California, to a dentist father and a homemaker mother, Alice. She is of Italian descent.[4] Her grandfather, Dominic Mumolo, was a studio musician on staff at NBC from 1949 to 1971, where he played on The Dean Martin Show, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, The Andy Williams Show, and The Tonight Show. He also recorded with musicians including Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Nelson Riddle.[5]
Mumolo graduated from Mater Dei High School in 1991[6] and the University of California, Berkeley, where she was a member of Chi Omega[7] and received her B.A. in history in 1995.[2][8]

After Bridesmaids, Mumolo was fired as a writer for the 20th Century Fox biographical film Joy, which might have had Kristen Wiig star as Joy Mangano. After several changes made by director David O. Russell, she received only a "story by" credit.[17] In a 2021 interview, Mumolo said "As a writer, you’re treated very differently than you are as an actor, in almost every way. I feel like it’s exponentially harder for that reason alone. The ‘Joy’ movie was a very heartbreaking experience for me, and I had to just sort of separate because of that aspect of things. When it was going in one direction, we got a phone call overnight that there's a change happening. And then I was asked to do things that were against my morality, and it was very difficult. When I didn't feel comfortable doing those things that were against my values, I was lambasted. I can't say too much. I guess probably because I was living in fear.”[18]
In 2016, Mumolo appeared in the two comedy films. The first was The Boss starring Melissa McCarthy and directed by Ben Falcone, and the second was box-office hit Bad Moms alongside Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Christina Applegate.[19] In 2017, she co-wrote biographical drama film Megan Leavey directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite. On television, she had a recurring role on Angie Tribeca and played a leading role in the 2017 comedy pilot Amy’s Brother.[20] In 2020, Mumolo recurred on the comedy-mystery Mapleworth Murders for Quibi.[21]
In 2021, Mumolo re-teamed with Wiig on
