Marti Noxon

Marti Noxon is a television and film writer perhaps best known for her work as a writer and executive producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

When the WB television network accepted the Buffy spin-off series, Angel, Joss Whedon, the creator and executive producer of both series, promoted Noxon from writer to executive producer and gave her increasing charge of producing Buffy.

Noxon joined the Buffy writing staff in the second season, and wrote a number of episodes that became fan favorites, including "What's My Line" (parts One and Two), "I Only Have Eyes for You" and "The Wish".

Noxon was a story editor (1997-1998), co-producer (1998-1999), supervising producer (1999-2000), co-executive producer (2000-2001) and executive producer (2001-2003) on Buffy, as well as the director of two season five episodes: "Into the Woods" and "Forever").

Noxon also appeared on the show as the aptly named "Parking Ticket Woman", who sings about a parking ticket she has received in the season six musical episode "Once More, With Feeling"), reprising the role in the season seven episode "Selfless", now singing with a neighbor (played by David Fury, also reprising his role from "Once More With Feeling") about his mustard-stained shirt.

• It is revealed on the "Hush" DVD commentary that Noxon was responsible for the casting of Amber Benson as Tara.
• Noxon sang the theme tune for the Cordy show in the Angel episode "Birthday".
• Marti Noxon also sang the song "The Parking Ticket" in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode "Once More, With Feeling".
