Patty Jenkins is an American director born in Victorville, California, celebrated for Monster, her devastating debut examining serial killer Aileen Wuornos with unusual empathy, which earned Charlize Theron an Academy Award for a radically transformed performance. After years working primarily in television, Jenkins directed Wonder Woman, becoming the first woman to direct a major superhero blockbuster and delivering one of the best-reviewed entries in the DC Extended Universe, credited with proving that female-led superhero films could achieve major commercial and critical success. Wonder Woman 1984 extended the character's story into a 1980s-set sequel. Jenkins's combination of unflinching character empathy in her independent debut with historic large-scale blockbuster success has made her one of the most significant women directors working in contemporary Hollywood.
