Life and career
Krizan was featured in Linklater's Slacker (1990) and Waking Life (2001). She is known for her part in Dazed and Confused (1993) where she plays the high school teacher, Ginny Stroud. Krizan also appeared and wrote her monologue in Waking Life, which discusses language and love.
In 2007, Krizan was selected as spokesperson for the screenwriting software Final Draft.[citation needed]
In 2008, Krizan’s sci-fi/horror comic book, “2061,” was published in Zombie Tales #1, 9, and 11, with all three installments collected into a stand-alone graphic novella entitled Zombie Tales 2061. In 2010, she also contributed the story “Of and Concerning the Ancient, Mystical, and Holy Origins of ... CBGBs” to issue #3 of the CBGB comic book miniseries.[citation needed]
In October 2012, Publishers Weekly spotlighted Krizan's self-publishing efforts on Kickstarter for her debut non-fiction book Original Sins: Trade Secrets of the Femme Fatale.[7] The Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded in November 2012.[8]
In 2013, Krizan published an article in The Huffington Post revealing she had found a previously unpublished love letter written by Gore Vidal to the diarist Anaïs Nin. This letter contradicts Vidal's previous characterization of his relationship with Nin, showing that Vidal did have feelings for her that he later heavily disavowed in his autobiography, Palimpsest. Krizan did this research in the run up to the release of the latest volume of Nin's uncensored diary, Mirages, for which she wrote the foreword.[9]
In 2019 Krizan published Spy in the House of Anaïs Nin, an examination of long-buried letters, papers, and original manuscripts Krizan found while doing archival work in Nin's Los Angeles home.[10] Krizan was a board member of the Anaïs Nin Foundation.[citation needed]
In the fall of 2021, Krizan brought her writing class online with the debut of "The Magic Hour with Kim Krizan" hosted on Patreon.[11]
