HBO has released the first promotional still for its upcoming “Wizard of Lies,” which chronicles the rise and epic fall of Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff.
Robert De Niro plays an elegantly slipper-clad Bernard (notice the ankle-monitor), while Michelle Pfeiffer rocks the sweater-set look as his wife, Ruth. The film is currently in production.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
