Reading | New York Crime Stories: Reading from the Archives with Oscar Nominee (In Person AND Online!)
The citizens of New York count among their numbers a former president running for office while being convicted of 34 felonies and the first sitting mayor to be indicted for federal crimes. They are only two of the most recent examples in a long history of lawbreaking and law enforcement that stretches as far back as the city’s founding. For one night only, beloved actors and performers read stories about the words and deeds of New Yorkers who lived on either side of the letter of the law. Whether it was Stephanie St. Clair, Harlem’s “Queen of Numbers,” or Anthony Comstock, the moralizing crusader whose efforts still haunt us today, the story of illegality and vice in New York might be as old as the city, but it’s one we are still living with now. About the Speaker An Emmy, a Golden Globe, a SAG award, and Oscar and Tony Award nominations are just a few of Sam Waterston’s many achievements. Recently Sam starred in Emmy winning limited series The Dropout, where he portrayed the polarizing figure George Shultz, opposite Amanda Seyfried. Additionally, he was a lead opposite Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Martin Sheen on the Emmy-nominated Netflix Original series Grace and Frankie, which ran for seven seasons, making it the longest running Netflix Original series. Sam also co-starred alongside Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer in the Aaron Sorkin HBO series The Newsroom. Sam is perhaps best well known for his portrayal of Jack McCoy on the iconic Law and Order franchise, reprising his titular role earlier this year.
