Bonnie Timmermann
Bonnie Timmermann is an American casting director and producer for film, television and theatre, perhaps best known for her work on the TV series Miami Vice and for her ongoing collaboration with the show's creator, Michael Mann.
Timmermann was born Bonnie J. Golub in Manhattan, New York City, one of three children born to Joseph Golub and Bertha Teruer. Raised near Rockaway Beach, Queens, Golub left home at age 16 and—much to her subsequent regret—never did finish high school.
In the 1970s, she worked at the William Morris Agency and Helen Harvey Associates before opening her own agency, Bonnie Golub Associates, in 1974. It was roughly 3 years later that Golub acquired, via marriage, the surname by which she has since come to be universally known. The marriage itself, however, proved short-lived, and in 1983 Timmermann met—and promptly married—her current husband and occasional collaborator, John A. Connor, one of whose two writing credits is on a Timmermann-cast TV episode of Miami Vice.
On March 17, 1992, Timmermann made her Broadway producing debut with Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden; she later served as co-producer on Roman Polanski's screen adaptation.
On September 8, 2022, Bonnie, Simon Wallon's documentary on Timmermann's life and career, received its world premiere at the Venice Biennale.
