Early Life and Personal Life
Twink Caplan was born on December 25, 1947, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In a 2005 interview with "Moviehole," Caplan spoke about meeting frequent collaborator Amy Heckerling 23 years earlier, stating, "It was kismet. I lost my mother and it was a time of deep grief for me. Amy was shy, I was loud. Complete opposites and we clicked right off. I worked my way up from secretary, assistant, consultant, development executive, associate producer, co-producer to producer. It was a beautiful friendship – profound that two people could be such close friends, work everyday together and as an actress have her as my director. We trusted each other".
