Career

Langley began her career as a production executive at New Line Cinema. In 2001, she became senior vice president of production at Universal Pictures.[5]

In her time at Universal, Langley has overseen the films Fast & Furious, Despicable Me, and Bourne.[6] She is known for cultivating strong relationships with filmmakers and writers. Langley backed Jordan Peele's directorial debut, Get Out, and his follow ups, Us and Nope.[7] Langley was also credited with recruiting director Christopher Nolan to Universal from Warner Bros. His movie Oppenheimer was added to a streak of successes for Langley in 2023, after M3GAN, Cocaine Bear, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.[8]

Her work includes overseeing the global specialty division, Focus Features, as well as Illumination and DreamWorks Animation, the latter being acquired by Universal in 2016.[6] Langley's role was expanded in 2023; as Chief Content Officer, she is not only responsible for overseeing Universal's film slate, but also the company's TV and streaming strategy.[7]

Throughout her career, she has supported mentorship opportunities for women.[9] Langley helped launch The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Film Mentorship program.[10] She also serves as an ambassador and board member for the nonprofit Vital Voices.[11]

Langley was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2020 New Year Honours for services to film and entertainment.[12][13]

Personal life

Langley was adopted, and was brought up on the Isle of Wight.[2] She was a pupil at Kent College in Canterbury.[14] She is married with two children, and lives in Los Angeles with her family.[9][10]
