Biography

Joyce Sherman was born on 20 October 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, that was. was exactly that! I cannot say better! This house was mine, the woman who does not marry, it was my aunt! The street which 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 at the beginning of the 1960s. She divorced after the making of her first film, La Jument vapeur, in 1976. She had several children from this marriage, including Diego Buñuel.
