SHARE

Ronnie Yeskel, a renowned casting director known for her work on iconic films such as “Pulp Fiction” and “Reservoir Dogs,” passed away on January 4 at The Motion Picture & Television Fund Retirement Home in Woodland Hills. She was 76 years old.

Yeskel had a successful career in casting that spanned over three decades, encompassing both film and television projects. Her collaborations with acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino included the cult classics “Pulp Fiction” and “Reservoir Dogs.” In addition to these ’90s gems, Yeskel also worked on films like “Bean,” “The Long Kiss Goodnight,” and “Hope Floats.” In the early 2000s, she continued to make her mark in the industry by casting for films such as “Blade Trinity,” “Orphan,” and giving Kieran Culkin his first lead role in “Igby Goes Down.”

Matt O’Toole, a close friend and actor, fondly remembered Yeskel as someone who touched the lives and careers of many with her passion, talent, and unwavering support for actors. He described her as a joyful individual who always fought for actors with respect and kindness.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Yeskel developed a love for New York theater at a young age. After graduating from the University of Maryland, she initially worked as a stage manager off-Broadway before transitioning to casting for theater productions in New York and Washington, D.C. Eventually, she made her way to Los Angeles, where she continued to excel in her casting career.

In the late ’90s, Yeskel served on the board of the Casting Society and received 10 CSA Artios Award nominations, winning three for her outstanding work on “Pulp Fiction,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “The Sessions.” She was also a member of the Casting Directors branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).

Described as a “unique” and “proud hippie,” Yeskel was known for leading with her heart and fostering genuine connections with those around her. She is survived by her brother David, daughter Emily, son-in-law David Jones, and grandchildren Bentley and Luna. A celebration of her life is planned for the spring, with further details to be announced in the near future.

Ronnie Yeskel’s legacy in the world of casting will continue to inspire and influence future generations of filmmakers and actors alike. Her passion, talent, and unwavering dedication to her craft have left an indelible mark on the industry, and she will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
