Board President, Jacob Burns Film Center. Longtime NYT critic.
This was the Rivoli in NYC. 50 years ago this AM I was in a car with the nervous director of “Jaws” and Albert Brooks heading over there. The director wondered whether there’d be a line. There was. It went around the corner and far beyond. He really hadn’t known this could happen. What a day!

Official portrait. Probably taken at the Jacob Burns Film Center, probably for the NYT. This was work mode.
It’s from another world.

Props here in every sense. Foreground: paraphernalia used in “A Complete Unknown.” Rear: guy now pushing 84 and playing his best shows in years.

The bad news: I’m old.

The good: I was lucky enough to be around to write this.
