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.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
