Phyllis Nagy is an American lesbian playwright and screenwriter known for writing the screenplay of Carol (2015), based on Patricia Highsmith's novel The Price of Salt — one of the most celebrated lesbian-themed films of the 21st century, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. Nagy had been devoted to adapting Highsmith's novel for over a decade before Todd Haynes agreed to direct it. She has also written plays produced in London and New York and has been an advocate for LGBTQ+ representation in screen drama throughout her career.
