Amy Schumer You probably don’t remember Schumer’s entree into showbiz, as an uncredited extra in the 1992 musical Newsies. Since then, however, she’s become a comedy powerhouse. She rose through the stand-up ranks to star in her own sketch-comedy show on Comedy Central, Inside Amy Schumer. Now she has an unbridled platform to provide hilarious commentary on horror films, sexting, eating habits, and anything else you can think of. She’s about to get even more crazy famous after the July release of Trainwreck. Written by Schumer and directed by Judd Apatow, the raunch-com stars Schumer as a woman addicted to booze and one-night stands; Bill Hader plays the love interest who might be able to save her from her worst instincts. Or not (maybe she doesn’t need saving). What’s her comedy philosophy? As the always-ballsy Schumer recently wrote in Cosmo: “In my act, I have a joke: ‘I know what I look like. You’d bang me, but you wouldn’t blog about it.’ My real beauty lies in my humor, my strength, the kind of sister, daughter, and friend I am. But more than anything, it lies in my ability to truly not give a shit what anyone thinks of me.” Preach, mama.
