Biography
Joyce Sherman was born on October 20, 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. The couple lived in Madrid and Mexico City, before moving to Paris in the early 1960s. The couple divorced after she made her first film, La Jument vapeur, in 1976. She had several children from this marriage, including Diego Buñuel.
