At 24, writer, director, and actress Lena Dunham is among the newest to wear the triple crown.

Tiny Furniture, her artful dramedy, won top awards at the SXSW film festival and will be released in November. It’s the unnervingly honest, self-deprecating, and semi-autobiographical story of a freshly minted college graduate returning home to find that her position in the family circle has evaporated as her coolly distant successful-artist mom and all-too-perfect high-school-student sister have simply carried on without her. Shot in her family’s Tribeca loft, the film stars Dunham along with her real-life mom, artist Laurie Simmons, and sister, Grace Dunham. (Absent on-screen is Dunham’s father, painter Carroll "Tip" Dunham.) “My parents are what made it possible for me to do this. Not only did I witness their creative process, but they also gave me the insane idea that such a career was possible, and worth pursuing,” says Dunham. Next up, she’s got an HBO pilot in the works and is adapting a book project for producer Scott Rudin (which she’ll also direct) as well as writing a new feature. Among her fans is Judd Apatow, who says, “If she wasn't such a nice person she would be my mortal enemy.”
