Biography

Amy Toomin Straus is a veteran TV writer, having written on the staffs of ten shows, including Friends and Grounded for Life. While on Friends, she co-wrote “The One With the Embryos” which, in retrospect, should have been named “The One Where the Girls Lose Their Apartment to the Boys.” She also has co-written pilots for ABC and CBS as well as a screenplay for Malcolm in the Middle. Most recently she has created branded content for Zillow and is in post-production on a documentary. Straus holds a BFA from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
