	David O. Selznick
		David Oliver Selznick was the younger son of Lewis Selznick, a film producer in his own right until bankruptcy forced him out of business in 1923; the family's older son, Myron Selznick, was a producer who later became one of Hollywood's most respected agents.
		Selznick's relationship with Jones was played out in a veiled yet public manner, on the screen -- she starred in all but two of his subsequent productions (those exceptions were Hitchcock films), and it seemed as though the budgets and shooting schedules ballooned to reflect the depth of his feelings for her.
		Selznick benefited from the movie in the most personal way of all, by marrying Jones once he was free of his first wife.

		Selznick, David O. (1902-1965), American producer, whose motion pictures, meticulous in detail and commercially successful, were among the finest of the 1930s and 1940s.
		Lewis Selznick, whose business was perennially overextended, went bankrupt in the early 1920s, and his son had to begin making his own way in the motion-picture industry.
		At his studio Selznick was able to indulge his penchant for being involved in every aspect of production, and his voluminous memos to staff members at all levels soon became legendary.

		Selznick stalled out as assistant, and abandoned MGM for a lower paying but higher potential job with Paramount Pictures, though speculation arose that the career move was fueled by his secret romance with Irene Mayer, daughter of MGM's Louis B. Mayer.
		Selznick proved a deft hand with lighter fare as well, and was one of the film makers to best display the talents of actress and comedienne Carole Lombard, taking her from screwball comedies ("Nothing Sacred") to sweet romances ("Made For Each Other", with James Stewart).
		Selznick's demanding work regime was among the most prominent factors in his 1948 divorce from Irene Mayer, who remained the producer's close friend and became a respected Broadway director in her own right.

		Selznick began his career as a teenager, working for his father, independent film distributor Lewis Selznick, in publicity and as a story analyst.
		Selznick's ultimate triumph, of course, was the 1939 classic "Gone With the Wind", on which he enlisted the services of no less than six directors (George Cukor, Sam Wood, William Cameron Menzies, King Vidor, Victor Fleming and himself) and countless screenwriters.
		Selznick immediately formed David O. Selznick Productions but, understandably exhausted after the strain of "Gone With The Wind", was unable to match his earlier success.

	Classic Coming Attractions by Barrie Maxwell
		David Selznick was born on May 10, 1902 in Pittsburgh and moved to New York in 1910 with his parents and two brothers.
		In 1923, David was in charge of publicity and was immersing himself in all aspects of film production when the company went broke due to excessive spending by his father and a failure to get the distribution for its films on the larger booking circuits needed to ensure adequate profits.
		Selznick was so busy with that film that it is amazing that he was able to devote the attention he did to the other seven films, at least four of which are among the finest films turned out by Hollywood during that period.

	David O. Selznick: The SIMPP Years
		David O. Selznick had orchestrated his corporate interests in the late 1940s to be able to flourish in the new era of independent filmmaking.
		Though the Selznick organization in the late 1940s seemed like the harbinger of a new era of flourishing independent production, David O.

		Selznick, producer of such notable films as Gone with the Wind (1939) and A Star Is Born (1937), was a protean and complex man. Much about this self-destructive yet brilliant egotist can be discovered in his (in)famous memos, from which author Thomson quotes generously.
		David O. Selznick grew up with the film industry in his blood and pursued the dominating passion to become the number one producer and culture influence during a period when the film industry ranked second only to that of automobile production.
