Early life

BornAnne Marie Fletcherin Detroit,Michigan, Fletcher lived with her family in the local lakefront suburb ofSt. Clair Shores, Michiganuntil her 1984 graduation with honors fromLake Shore High School. Fletcher began taking dance lessons at a local dance studio,Turning Point School of the Performing Arts, at age 12 after watching her mother take a dance class. At age 15, she appeared in the local showSalute to the Superstarsat the now-defunct Mr. F’s Beef & Bourbon dinner club inSterling Heights,Michigan. Upon graduation from high school, Fletcher, aged 18, moved to Los Angeles, California, where she attained further training and began working as a professional dancer; including performing as aLaker Girl.

Choreographic Career

In 1990, Fletcher metAdam Shankmanwhen they were hired to perform as dancers at the 62ndAcademy Awards. Shortly thereafter, Shankman hired Fletcher to become his assistant choreographer. This sparked a longtime personal friendship and professional affiliation.

Fletcher worked closely with Shankman both during his career as a choreographer and later as a film director and has credited her collaborations with Shankman for allowing her to both develop her own set of choreographic and film directorial skills and to achieve a similarly successful career path.

In her first film roles, Fletcher appeared as a dancer, includingThe Flintstones(1994),The Mask(1994),Tank Girl(1995), Casper(1995) andTitanic(1997). Fletcher later developed choreography for the Oscar-nominated drama filmBoogie Nights (1997) starringMark Wahlberg,Burt Reynolds,Julianne MooreandHeather Graham, in which she also appeared as a dancer, as well as for the comedy filmA Life Less Ordinary(1997) withEwan McGregorandCameron Diaz.

Directorial Career

After acquiring numerous professional choreography credits, often in collaboration with Adam Shankman, Fletcher, with encouragement from Shankman, began to consider a directorial career. She worked alongside Shankman, who had moved from choreography to directing with films such asHairspray(2007) andThe Wedding Planner, both of which she was an associate producer.

Although Fletcher began to break into the production side of filmmaking throughout the early 2000s, she continued to choreograph in films such as theIce PrincessandThe Pacifierin 2005.[4]She also did choreograph work in other films like Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed(2004),The 40-Year-Old Virgin(2005) andHairspray(2007).

Fletcher directed the 2006 romantic dance film,Step UpstarringChanning TatumandJenna Dewan Tatum. The film was nominated for twoTeen Choice Awards(2007) and oneYoung Artist Award(2007). Although Fletcher didn't direct the sequel to this film, she choreographed onStep Up 2: The Streets(2008) which was directed byJon M. Chu. Panned by critics, the film was well received by audiences and earned Fletcher a second successful director credit on the popular 2008 romantic comedy film,27 Dresses, starringKatherine HeiglandJames Marsden. This film was nominated for eight awards: onePeople's Choice Awards(2008), twoTeen Choice Awards(2008), threeGolden Trailer Awards(2008), oneArtios Award(2008) and oneEDA Special Mention Award.Based on the success of these two initial efforts, Fletcher has gone on to direct the popular 2009 romantic comedy film,The Proposal, starringSandra BullockandRyan Reynolds.
