	David O. Selznick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David O. Selznick (May 10, 1902–June 22, 1965), was one of the iconic Hollywood producers of the Golden Age.
		Selznick was born to a Jewish family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of silent movie distributor Lewis J. Selznick and Florence A. (Sachs) Selznick.
		Selznick married Irene Gladys Mayer, daughter of MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer, in 1930.

	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 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.

	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.
