BIOGRAPHY
A film cast by Joy Todd is unmistakable.
From starring role to one-liner, the assembled cast is a tour-de-force of
performances, fresh faces and well known actors in a whole new light.
She's worked with every major studio on both film and television
projects. The list of directors and producers read like a "Who's
Who" of Hollywood including: Ridley Scott, Sidney Lumet, Sergio
Leone, Ron Maxwell, Jeremy Kagan, David Brown, David Putnam, Don
Bellisario, Alan Rudolph and Bob and Harvey Weinstein.
Joy Todd is responsible for such jaw-dropping ensembles as
"Gettysburg", "Once Upon A Time In America",
"Prince of the City" and " The Verdict".
She's
also uncovered "new" talent such as Morgan Freeman in his
Oscar-nominated role for "Street Smart" and Academy Award
winning actresses Holly Hunter and Hillary Swank.
In fact, Hunter credits Todd for launching her career. In an interview
with the New York Times, Hunter said, "The most valuable thing
that happened to me was meeting Joy Todd, who took me under her
wing."
For over twenty years Joy Todd has been the actor's champion, the
director's dream and the producer's best friend. Insiders all
agree that the experience of working with Joy Todd is first class.
Director Paul Mazursky calls her casting " imaginative and constantly
surprising in a wonderfully creative way." After a lifetime
making movies actor/director Sidney Poitier declares Todd's work,
" the best casting I ever had."
"I can't remember ever seeing a film that I
thought better cast than 'Prince of the City'."
-Hume Cronyn, actor/director
