(Posted: 08/25/2008) 10 Things to Hate about Lutz and Smith Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith live the good life in sunny California. They can afford that because they are successful screenwriters. They are young, attractive, and charismatic. Their "Legally Blonde" helped boost Reese Witherspoon's career. Their "10 Things I Hate About You" kick-started the careers of Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. Their hits keep coming. They write by a swimming pool in sunny California, usually with a bottle of excellent wine. They once wrote a script on a beach with a bucket of Corona between their legs. They have at least three projects in the production phases. They are producers as well as writers.

Afraid of Los Angeles, he notes, "I had tried living there and I hated it and thought I could do this thing without being there. I entered contests and sent out query letters and did all the futile things you're supposed to do. It's like a rain dance, I suppose. It feels silly and useless, but you need the rain, right?" Finally, he did move to LA and he found success there with his screenplay "Greta." "I earned money from 'Greta'" five years after I wrote it," he notes.
