Biography[]
Joyce Sherman was born on October 20th, 1941[1] in Brooklyn, New York, into a family of Jewish emigrants who came from Russia in 1914. She told Le Monde in 1990, “You've seen Radio Days, by Woody Allen, it was exactly that! I can't say it any better! That was my house, the unmarried woman, she was my aunt! The street that overlooks the sea, the neighbors, the school, the parents, the football, the baseball, all that was my life!"[2] Her father, a Menshevik, fought in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War.
Buñuel was married to director Juan Luis Buñuel, the son of Luis Buñuel. After long wanderings from Madrid to Mexico City, the couple moved to Paris in the early 1960s. She divorced after making her first film, La Jument vapeur, in 1976. She had several children from this marriage, including Diego Buñuel.
