Tonya Suzanne Holly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tonya Suzanne Holly (born July 2, 1962, Red Bay, Alabama)[1] is an American film producer and casting director who studied theater at University of North Alabama.

Holly[2] worked as set production assistant on Toy Soldiers (1991), casting (Alabama) on Raw Nerve (1991) and did the extras casting for Blue Sky.[3][4][5] She has worked with CBS, HBO, NBC, FOX, Morgan Creek, Universal, Buena Vista, and other productions.[citation needed]

Production of The Story of Bonnie and Clyde (2009) starring Sean Faris as Clyde Barrow[6][7] and Lindsay Pulsipher[8] as Bonnie Parker was halted. Casting of the movie was delayed[9] and production was dealt a major setback in April 2011 as tornadoes damaged or destroyed film locations in Mississippi and Alabama. Flooding prevented filming at the state prison in Angola.[9]

Holly founded the now defunct Alabama Filmmakers Association in 1991 to help promote film in the state of Alabama.[10]
