The "Our People in Hollywood" series is a complex and fascinating biographies of major film figures - emigrants and people from emigrant families. This is a story about people who, despite the difficulties of emigrant life, reached the pinnacle of their creative activity and wrote names in the history of world cinema. One of the most successful producers in Hollywood history, David Selznick (1902-1965) oversaw the creation of such mid-twentieth-century film masterpieces as King Kong, Gone with the Wind, Rebecca, and others. Winner of two Academy Awards for Best Picture, he is the only producer to win the award in this category twice in a row. Illustrations by Alexander Steinberg.
