	MSN Encarta - Selznick, David O.
		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.
		An important Selznick picture of this period was the Western Duel in the Sun (1946), starring Jennifer Jones, who was to marry Selznick in 1949.

		Despite the debt many of his discoveries owe him and his undoubtable dedication to film-making, Selznick is considered to be the stereotypical version of the film producer to whom his modern equivalents are often compared to.
		Selznick married Irene Gladys Mayer, daughter of MGM mogul, Louis B. Mayer in 1930.
		Selznick died June 22, 1965 following several heart attacks and was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

	Articles > Rebecca (1940)
		This upset Selznick because he liked to be able to choose from among a number of different angles when putting together a scene.) Selznick's opinion, however, almost always carried the day.
		Selznick had very specific ideas as to what the handwriting of the dead Rebecca should look like, and several women from the production department tried their hand at creating Rebecca's personality through penmanship.
		Before shooting began, Selznick was outraged when an estimated budget of $947,000 was submitted by his general manager, calling it "a disgrace" and declaring that the head of any department that did not stay within a sensible budget, "is going to be fired!" The final cost of the film was $1,288,000.

	Du Maurier + Selznick + Hitchcock = Rebecca - page 1
		Although Selznick wanted to be faithful to the novel, the censors demanded that Max could not kill his wife without paying the penalty.
		Selznick was again outraged when Henry Ginsberg, vice president and general manager, submitted a budget of $947,000, based upon the total estimates of all department heads.
		Selznick had bought the property for Ronald Colman, whose contract for The Prisoner of Zenda called for a second picture.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Garden Of Allah (Anchor Bay Release)
		Selznick's first choice of material had been a play entitled "Dark Victory" (later filmed by WB in 1939 with Bette Davis), but just about at this time, the first outdoor adventure film using 3-strip Technicolor (Trail of the Lonesome Pine [1936, Paramount]) proved to be a very popular success.
		Initially, Selznick had settled on Merle Oberon to play the part of Domini, but with the decision to make The Garden of Allah a real showcase for Technicolor and with a budget of $1.2M, he began to feel that a player with more mystique was needed.
		Selznick dispatched director Richard Boleslawski and the rest of the cast and crew there in the spring and a rather difficult shoot ensued due to high temperatures which restricted filming to the morning hours only and the cumbersome Technicolor cameras.

		The fl actors of Gone With the Wind, he told Selznick, "should do by-line stories, which we would plant in their papers throughout the country." The news releases not only would be good for the actors, Birdwell said, but also would help to counter any future attacks on the picture in the fl press.
		Selznick had planned to showcase the GWTW stars, fl and white, who would arrive in Atlanta in style and appear briefly before or after the screening of the picture.
		For her and Selznick International the evening would be as radiant as the Oz of The Wizard of Oz, so magical that nothing could spoil it, not even a small band of demonstrators outside the hotel, protesting against the racism of Gone With the Wind.

	Gone With The Wind: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) - liners
		Selznick wrote for a 1941 magazine piece that "Before my brother, Myron, Hollywood's leading agent, brought Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh over to the set to see the shooting of the burning of Atlanta, I had never seen her (except in British-made films).
		Selznick was afraid of negative public opinion, since she and Chaplin had been living together for some time.
		Selznick appealed to Will Hays in an eloquent letter in which he stated "that this word as used in the picture is not an oath or a curse." Permission was granted to use "damn," and the picture was given a Code seal--but a $5,000 fine was imposed for violation of a Code provision.

	David O. Selznick -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		Selznick received his early training in motion pictures from his father, Lewis J. Selznick, a Ukrainian-Jewish immigrant and a producer of silent films in New York City.
		The young Selznick moved to Hollywood in 1926; and, in the next 10 years at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount, and RKO studios, he advanced from script reader and assistant story editor to producer.
		Many of his outstanding pictures of the 1930s were extravagant melodramas, such as Dinner at Eight (1933) and A Star Is Born (1937), or meticulous adaptations of literary classics, such as David Copperfield (1935), Anna Karenina (1935), A Tale of Two Cities (1935), and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938).

		Many pictures were made which I counseled against, and all in the face of the fact that to book a picture in our crowded schedules called for a deposit of $25,000.
		Broadly considered, this recent array of feature pictures is of such a late date that it is too early to render a verdict based upon any sort of generalization with respect to them.
		When we are establishing the density and color balance of a feature picture, we make a series of prints and usually arrange to view these with the producer of the picture in a number of first-run theaters, a far as time permits.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: David O. Selznick
		Selznick worked for his father's motion picture company, Lewis J. Selznick Productions, until it was forced into bankruptcy in 1923.
		Since Selznick had married Mayer's daughter Irene in 1929, his return to MGM sparked the saying, "the son-in-law also rises." Intent on bringing more prestigious pictures to the screen, Selznick produced hits such as Dinner at Eight (1933) and Anna Karenina (1935).
		In the former picture, Selznick defied conventional wisdom and cast the film with big stars in every role, instead of just one star.
