Mike White, creator behind HBO’s new series about about an executive who undergoes a value change after she’s had enough of her boss, has some similarities between himself and Enlightened’s main character.
The School of Rock writer and vegan told TNR about the series of disappointments he suffered over disagreements between himself and networks over creative work.
The issue revolved around different versions of a pilot episode and which one would make the target audience more receptive.
“The single-mindedness of feeling like my self-worth was wrapped up in the perception of success or failure kind of just spun me out,” White said. “At that point,” he added, “I was like, how could I get so psychologically bad over a failed Fox sitcom?”
White began learning meditation and became a vegan.
Does Enlightened’s Amy Jellicoe, played by Laura Dern, do the same?
