Released in 2012 as a HBO documentary series film that runs 89 minutes,its a informative although highly slanted tribute to the late Marion Dougherty,who died in 2011, as much as it is to the subject of casting directors in general.Thus I took 1 and 1/2 stars off for the motivation of this"documentary".That said,there are many A+ stars who give insights into what the casting directors meant to their careers as well as directors and a few studio executives,however the film is NOT kind to the film industry as much as it is to television.Its worth a view for a few interesting star tales as well as a behind the camera peek. Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.
By the way,did you know Bette Midler has a bit part,from casting director Marion Dougherty, in"Hawaii"a film reviewed on this blog,and used the money she got from it to move FROM her native Hawaii,(yes she was raised there)to NYC and the rest was as they say history??
The surprising, never-before-told tale of the indispensable yet unsung Casting Director - Iconoclasts whose keen eye, exquisite taste and gut instincts redefined Hollywood.
