Biography[]
Early Life[]
Mayer is the daughter of actress Sasha von Scherler (1934–2000) and Paul Avila Mayer (1928–2009). Through her father, she was a grandchild of American screenwriter Edwin Justus Mayer and, through her mother, she was a grandchild of Prussian aristocrat Baron Walram Voystingus Albert Alexander von Schoeler.
After contributing to the New York Shakespeare Festival as a teen, Mayer graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in theater and history. Mayer's experience with theater served as a foundation for her upcoming career as a director, where she would later apply her understanding of stage acting to her work for the screen.
Career[]
Upon graduating from Wesleyan, Mayer went on to direct contemporary interpretations of classic plays such as Euripides' Electra, Shakespeare's The Tempest, and Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Mayer's feature-film directing debut was the 1995 film Party Girl. She also co-wrote the film, which starred Parker Posey and Mayer's mother, with her partner Harry Birckmayer. The success of the film led to a Fox television series starring Christine Taylor.
Since Party Girl, Mayer has been writing and directing films, as well as directing television productions. She directed Madeline, a 1998 film based on Ludwig Bemelmans' famous children's books about the adventures of a young redhaired French girl. Madeline starred Frances McDormand, Nigel Hawthorne and Hatty Jones as Madeline.
Mayer's TV credits include House of Lies, Hit the Floor, Ray Donovan, Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead and Bosch, among others.
In 2020, Mayer directed her first episode of the ABC series, A Million Little Things.[1]
