Muffie Meyer was born in New York City and raised in Chicago. A literature and Medieval history student in college, she returned to attend New York University's film school in 1967. She moved quickly from her first job mimeographing scripts to film editing. Her early credits include The Lords of Flatbush, starring Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler, and Groove Tube, starring Chevy Chase, a film precursor to Saturday Night Live. Meyer co-directed Grey Gardens with the pioneering cinema verite documentarians David and Albert Maysles, and Ellen Hovde. She also co-edited the film with Ellen Hovde. Part of her gift for creating gripping cinema like The Crash of '29 and Liberty! The American Revolution reflects her own broad-ranging interests. A self-described "intellectual dilettante", she is an avid reader of scientific and medical journals, history books and detective novels. Meyer is married to Ronald Blumer. They live in New York City with their daughter, Emma.
