‘Casting By’ Is The Documentary That Will Change The Way You See Your Favorite Hollywood Stars
"The 2013 documentary Casting By offers an illuminating look into the world of casting and it’s now streaming on Netflix. The documentary follows the evolution of casting in the film and television industries. You meet many of the people who put together the most legendary ensembles in history. But it all circles back to one woman: Marion Dougherty. Over the course of her life, she revolutionized how casting works. She favored listening to her instincts about actors over typecasting them based solely on looks. In doing so, she championed the careers of James Dean, Warren Beatty, Robert Duvall, Jon Voight, Al Pacino, Glenn Close, John Lithgow, Danny Glover, and so many more.
Dougherty was more than just a pioneer in the world of casting; she’s kind of the mother of modern casting. It’s not that Dougherty’s style was mimicked by her peers —though it was—but that she went out of her way to mentor up-and-coming casting directors. When she started her own casting offices out of a cozy home in Manhattan, she made a point to staff her company with all female employees, who were all treated with respect, and who went on to cast films like The Big Chill, Flashdance, Annie Hall, and Blazing Saddles.
