Joyce Selznick information


Joyce Selznick (February 12, 1925 – September 17, 1981) was a talent agent, casting director, and screenwriter. She was the niece of film producer David O. Selznick (Gone with the Wind, 1939), providing her with early exposure to the industry. Her career spanned three decades and began with her discovery of a New York truck driver named Bernie Schwartz whom she developed him into a matinee idol and future actor Tony Curtis.[1] and climaxed with the casting of The Buddy Holly Story, released in 1978. Her work ended with her premature death in 1981 at age 56 from breast cancer.[2]
