Selznick

A chance encounter in New York with movie producer Joyce Selznick, the niece of legendary “Gone With the Wind” producer David O. Selznick, led to his role in “Gidget” and the younger Selznick managing him.

Selznick, who was married three times, left no immediate surviving close family members.

Martin Scorsese, whose latest film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” earned a PGA nomination, received the David O. Selznick Achievement Award.

Martin Scorsese also is expected to receive the David O. Selznick Achievement Award later in the show.

“I knew immediately the screenplay was an amazing find since, according to the auction at which it originally sold, Selznick had ordered all shooting scripts destroyed,” Kimel wrote.
