Director, Producer, Screenwriter, Executive Producer Born: December 11, 1952 in Abington, PA Biography:American filmmaker "Susan Seidelman" majored in art and fashion design at Drexel University. She worked at an independent TV station in Philadelphia before enrolling at NYU's film school. Her feminist-oriented student films, made between 1976 and 1977, won several awards and plenty of industry attention. Seidelman's first feature, the independently produced "Smithereens" (1983), made very little headway in mainstream theaters, but was a hit on the festival circuit. On the strength of "Desperately Seeking Susan" (1985), Seidelman was lauded as one of Hollywood's few "bankable" female directors; the film's success was probably due more to the supporting performance of "Madonna" than to its director. Seidelman's next two films, "Making Mr Right" (1987) and "Cookie" (1989), failed to match the standard set by "Desperately Seeking Susan." In 1989's "She-Devil," Seidelman attempted to do for "Roseanne Barr"... Full Biography
