 CAROLE CURB NEMOY: BIOGRAPHY

Carole Curb Nemoy’s life in the entertainment industry has been diversely rewarding. During her career she has earned success in the record and film industries as President of both Curb Records International and Curb Entertainment International.

Carole graduated from UCLA Phi Beta Kappa summa cum laude with a major in French and a minor in Spanish. She spent her Junior year in Bordeaux, France at the University of Bordeaux studying political science, and French literature. She was then several years in Los Angeles as a record executive alongside her brother, Mike Curb, the Chairman of Curb Records, where they had hits with the Osmond’s, Debby Boone, Shaun Cassidy, and Sammy Davis Jr among others.

In 1988 Carole moved back to Los Angeles to assume her current position as President and Co-founder of Curb Entertainment International, an independent film production and distribution company, in addition to her role of international record executive. Shortly after her arrival, the Curb organization executive produced SEX, LIES and VIDEOTAPE, winner of the Palme d’OR at the Cannes Film Festival.
