==Personal life== Heckerling dated friend and fellow film director [[Martin Brest]] briefly when she first moved to Los Angeles. Though they later broke up, they remained good friends. Heckerling's first marriage was to David Brandt, from 1981 to 1983. In 1984, Heckerling married director [[Neal Israel]], but they divorced in 1990.<ref name=People>{{cite news |last=McMurran |first=Kristin |url=https://people.com/archive/mixing-marriage-and-movies-is-a-mirthly-delight-for-directors-amy-heckerling-and-neal-israel-vol-23-no-19/ |title=Mixing Marriage and Movies Is a Mirthly Delight for Directors Amy Heckerling and Neal Israel |work=[[People (magazine)|People]] |date=1985-05-13 |access-date=2019-05-28 }}</ref><ref name=Tribune/> The couple's daughter, Mollie Israel, was born in 1985.

Despite this, the two get along very well and Mollie frequently introduces her mother to new music, such as [[OK Go]], and films.<ref name="avclub1">{{cite web | last=Murray | first=Noel | url=https://www.avclub.com/amy-heckerling-1798213551 | title=Amy Heckerling | publisher=The A.V.
