It's been five years since the movie "Juno," which made major stars out of Ellen Page and Michael Cera, hit theaters.
But the true talent launched by that film was Diablo Cody, the writer who turned out the film's crackling, lightning-quick script.
Today, she's one of the most in-demand scribes in Hollywood -- and her latest, much-anticipated film, "Young Adult," comes out tomorrow and stars Charlize Theron.
Cody, who worked as a stripper, blogged and published a tell-all about her time on the stage called "Candy Girl" before "Juno" came out.
Cody's screenplay debut, "Juno," was directed by Jason Reitman and starred Ellen Page as a sharp witted pregnant teen. The film cost $7.5 million to make, and charmed moviegoers to the tune of $225 million worldwide.
In 2008, Cody won the Oscar for best screenplay -- and the film was nominated for best picture.
