Bonnie Timmermann (born Bonnie J. Golub, [4] [5] [6] [1] December 1947) [7] 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. [8]
Timmermann was born Bonnie J. Golub in Manhattan, New York City, one of three children born to Joseph Golub and Bertha Teruer. [9] [10] [11] [12] Raised near Rockaway Beach, Queens, Golub left home at age 16 and—much to her subsequent regret—never did finish high school. [9]
In the 1970s, she worked at the William Morris Agency and Helen Harvey Associates before opening her own agency, Bonnie Golub Associates, in 1974. [5] It was roughly 3 years later that Golub acquired, via marriage, the surname by which she has since come to be universally known. [1] The marriage itself, however, proved short-lived, and in 1983 Timmermann met—and promptly married—her current husband and occasion collaborator, John A. Connor, [9] [3] one of whose two writing credits is on a Timmermann-cast TV episode of Miami Vice. [a]
On March 17, 1992, Timmermann made her Broadway producing debut with Ariel Dorfman's Death and the Maiden; [16] she later served as co-producer on Roman Polanski's screen adaptation. [17]
On September 8, 2022, Bonnie, Simon Wallon's documentary on Timmermann's life and career, received its world premiere at the Venice Biennale. [18]
Timmermann's brother Michael Golub is a sound recordist and mixer in television and film. [28] [29] [30] [31]
Bonnie Golub has joined Helen Harvey Assoc., and will be in charge of developing a commercials dept. as well as repping commercial and industrial film performers.
Theatrical agent, Bonnie Golub, has announced the opening of her own agency located at 850 7th Avenue, NYC. Ms. Golub, formerly with the William Morris Agency and Helen Harvey Associates, handles actors and actresses for the legit theatre, motion pictures and television commercials.

She is secretive about her roots. She said she grew up in New York, in and out of Manhattan, but she will not say exactly where. She said her father was a Russian immigrant who came here when he was 12. His last name was Golub. He became a Golden Gloves boxer. Her mother sang opera but made no money, she said. She said she left home when she was 16. She did not finish high school, which she regrets now. [...] Her ultimate feat came 12 years ago, when she walked across the room to talk to a man she saw at a party. She did not know who he was or what he did. She just faced him and said, 'Would you marry me?' The man, John Connor, said yes. They are still married. 'Sometimes, I just know,' says Timmermann.
