Lauren Faust
Animator Lauren Faust became a star in her field by working in the bright, colorful world of "My Little Pony." But instead of writing sweet, syrupy stories that only appealed to young girls, Faust worked hard to elevate the genre, and make it appealing to as many people as possible, which has earned her a following among animation fans and "Bronies," the modern day fans of Faust's signature series "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic."
