Editing Irving Thalberg (section)

=== Others ===
Fitzgerald also based his short story "[[Crazy Sunday]]", originally published in the October 1932 issue of ''[[American Mercury]]'', on an incident at a party thrown by Thalberg and Shearer. The story is included in Fitzgerald's collection ''[[Taps at Reveille]]'' (1935).

Thalberg was portrayed in the movie ''[[Man of a Thousand Faces (film)|Man of a Thousand Faces]]'' (1957) by [[Robert Evans]], who went on to become a studio head himself.

Thalberg is parodied as ''Irving C. Saltzberg Jnr.'' in the sketch ''20th Century Vole'' in episode 6 of [[Monty Python's Flying Circus]].  Unlike the real-life publicity-shy Thalberg, Saltzberg is obsessed with controlling (and being credited for) every single bit of a production, including writing, directing and producing, and this is likewise reflected in the closing credits (which immediately follow the sketch) for the episode.  The episode is also announced as "'''An Irving C. Saltzberg Productions Ltd. and Saltzberg Art Films, Oil, Real Estate, Banking and Prostitution Inc. Co-Production.'''"

Thalberg was portrayed by Bill Cusack in ''Young Indiana Jones and the Hollywood Follies'' (1994), a TV film based on ''[[The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles]]'', in which [[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]] is depicted as taking part in Thalberg's conflict with Erich von Stroheim over ''Foolish Wives''.

In 2020, Thalberg is played by [[Ferdinand Kingsley]] in the [[David Fincher]] film ''[[Mank]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-12-10|title='Mank' star says one shot with Gary Oldman took 50 takes|url=https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/film/mank-star-says-one-shot-with-gary-oldman-took-50-takes-2836220|access-date=2020-12-22|website=NME {{!}} Music, Film, TV, Gaming & Pop Culture News|language=en}}</ref> [[Max Minghella]] portrays him in [[Damien Chazelle]]'s 2022 film ''[[Babylon (2022 film)|Babylon]]''.
