In 1990, Darren Star sat down to write a script about a couple of teenagers from Minnesota who head to high school in California. The rest is television history. He redefined teen drama with Beverly Hills, 90210, got an entire generation to move in to Melrose Place, then broke the romantic comedy mold with Sex & The City. Even after 4 decades in the industry, he continues to turn everything he touches to gold with Younger and his 2020 French-accented Emily in Paris. So who is the man beyond the myth?
