Susie Lewis is an American writer and producer who co-created the MTV
animated series Daria.She attended Temple University in Philadelphia,
PA.Lewis's career began after moving to New York where she applied for
an internship at MTV and then began working on Beavis and Butt-Head
producing the music video segments. She chose and edited the videos
that the duo watched and oversaw the writing and recording of their
comments. She and Glenn Eichler were later asked to become co-creators
for a spin-off of the show called Daria, built around the character
Daria Morgendorffer, who originally appeared as the intelligent,
sarcastic foil to Beavis and Butthead. Daria came at a request for a
"show for girls" from MTV executives, so it was fitting that one of
the co-creators would be a woman, and that women would be a
significant presence on the writing and directing teams.
