David Seltzer

Highest Rated: 85% The Omen (1976)

Lowest Rated: 0% Nobody's Baby (2001)

Birthday: Feb 12, 1940

Birthplace: Highland Park, Illinois, USA

Versatile scenarist who co-adapted Vladimir Nabokov's "King, Queen, Knave" (1972), wrote a couple of sophisticated horror films--the best of which was "The Omen" (1976)--and turned out several adroit tearjerkers, before making his directorial debut with "Lucas" (1986), a winning, low-key portrait of adolescence.
