Maggie Carey (born c. 1974/1975) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer and actress. She has directed comedy shorts for television, and she wrote and directed the 2013 film The To Do List.

Early life and education

Carey was raised in Boise, Idaho. She attended Jackson Elementary and West Junior High and graduated from Borah High School in 1993.

Of her high school experience, Carey said, "I was in every AP class possible. I played a ton of sports. I was in student council. I was an all-American soccer player." Carey was also a lifeguard at the Borah pool, an experience that would influence her film The To-Do List.

Carey attended the University of Idaho for a year, before being recruited to the University of Montana to play Division I soccer in the team's inaugural season. She was co-captain of the team, making 26 appearances as a defender and scoring one goal. She graduated from Montana with a bachelor's degree in English literature. Carey went on to earn an MFA degree in film production from the University of Texas at Austin.

Career

In 2007, Carey and Liz Cackowski created an online series called The Jeannie Tate Show.

Carey was a member of New York's Upright Citizens Brigade improvisation troupe. Carey performed with both the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York and Improv Olympics West in Los Angeles.

In 2011, Carey cowrote and directed sketches for four episodes of Funny or Die Presents called "Lady Refs" about female referees working youth soccer games. Carey wrote and directed the low budget sex comedy, The To Do List, which was released in 2013; the film is set in her home state of Idaho in 1993, featuring a lead character who is the same age as Carey was then.

Personal life

Carey married actor Bill Hader in 2006. They had met in Los Angeles, California, through a friend of Carey's from college. They have three daughters together.

Hader and Carey separated in 2017. Hader filed for divorce in December of that year. They reached a divorce settlement in March 2018 and the divorce was finalized three months later.
