Marvin Schwarz

Marvin John Schwartz (January 10, 1928 – September 3, 1997)[1] was an American film producer and publicist. He began producing by optioning the novel Blindfold, which became a 1966 film.[2][3]

Schwartz was born in the Bronx, New York, to Sol Schwartz and Minnie Siegel, Yiddish-speaking Jewish emigrants from Russia and Austria, respectively. His father worked in the garment industry cutting furs.[4] He died in Boulder Creek, California.[5]

In Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Al Pacino plays a character with a similar name (Marvin Schwarzs [sic]) who is a producer and talent scout. The similarity is apparently coincidental, and the character is not modelled on the real-life Schwartz.[6]
