Author Description

"David O. Selznick was a unique figure in the golden Hollywood studio era. He produced some of the greatest and most memorable American films ever made - notably, Rebecca, A Star Is Born, Dinner at Eight, David Copperfield, and, above all, Gone With the Wind. Selznick's absolute power and artistic control are evidenced in his impassioned, eloquent, witty, and sometimes rageful memos to directors, writers, stars, and studio executives, writings that have become almost as famous as his films.". "This Modern Library edition contains a new Introduction by Roger Ebert."--BOOK JACKET.
