Diablo Cody
Early life and career
Cody, who took the pen name Diablo Cody (diablo is Spanish for "devil") after repeatedly listening to the song El Diablo by Arcadia
while passing through Cody, Wyoming, attended Benet Academy, a Roman Catholic school in Lisle, Illinois.
Cody and her older brother Marc grew up in Lemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Cody was raised Catholic. She graduated from the
University of Iowa with a media studies degree.While at the University of Iowa, Cody was a DJ at KRUI 89.7 FM. Her first jobs were
doing secretarial work at a Chicago law firm and later proofreading copy for advertisements that played on Twin Cities radio stations.
Cody began a parody of a weblog called Red Secretary, detailing the (fictional) exploits of a secretary living in Belarus. The events were
thinly–veiled allegories for events that happened in Cody's real life, but told from the perspective of a disgruntled, English–idiom–challenged
Eastern Bloc girl.
Cody's first bona fide blog appeared under the nickname Darling Girl after Cody had moved from Chicago to Minneapolis, Minnesota.Cody
currently resides in Los Angeles.
Cody made a small cameo appearance as herself in the U.S. cable television series 90210 (2008).
She appeared in the same episode that marked the return of Tori Spelling as Donna Martin, in which Cody needed Spelling's
character to make a dress for a red carpet event.
