David O. Selznick Facts
Son of producer Lewis J. Selznick.

Is portrayed by Ron Berglas in RKO 281 (1999) (TV) and by Tony Curtis in The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980) (TV).

When Selznick announced he was starting his own production company, Irving Thalberg called him to ask If he had any financing yet. Selznick replied, "Not a nickel." Thalberg, usually quite careful with money, said, "Well, me and Norma [wife Norma Shearer] would like to give you $250,000 to get on your feet." Thalberg thus became the first financier of Selznick Enterprises.
