Or at least that was the sentiment behind screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna’s viral tweet Sunday that told women, especially those who are older, that “you’re not too old” to accomplish your dreams.

Nora Ephron was 51 when she directed her 1st movie. Nancy Meyers was 49. Their kids were grown. If you're a women who writes, acts, edits, ADs, etc and you're ready to direct, you're not too old. I was 47. Tell the people you work with your dream. Put your hand up. Men ask. Ask.

McKenna was nearing 40 when she hit it big by adapting the screenplay for 2006’s “The Devil Wears Prada.” Her career took off after that, and she wrote the screenplays for films such as “27 Dresses” and “We Bought a Zoo.” In 2015 she co-created the musical comedy series “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” for which she serves as showrunner and head writer. In 2016 she began directing episodes of the show.
