Jenji Kohan

The apple didn't fall far from the tree when it came to the career of Jenji Kohan. She built a CV for herself almost as storied as that of her father, Buz Kohan, whose credits included such mainstream family entertainment favorites as "The Carol Burnett Show," "The Odd Couple" and a healthy list of awards shows and Christmas specials. Jenji Kohan, however, followed a completely different course. She became synonymous with complex and groundbreaking adult-themed comedies that dealt with prison, drugs, murder and transgression.
