16—March 31 - April 6, 2018 The Greeneville Sun, Greeneville, TN 16 — March 31 - April 6, 2018 The Greeneville Sun, Greeneville, TN Feature Story Scandal rocks a university and brings down a coaching legend in HBO's 'Paterno' By George Dickie © Zap2it By every measure, Penn State's Joe Paterno was one of the greatest coaches in college football history, racking up a record 409 wins, two national championships and count- less awards in a career that spanned 1966-2011. Unfortunately and tragically, many will remember him for the scandal that brought it all to an end. In HBO Films' "Paterno," pre- miering Saturday, April 7, Oscar winner Al Pacino ("The Godfa- ther," "Any Given Sunday") stars as the revered and beloved head coach, who found his life and career suddenly turned upside down when in November 2011, his former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was arrested on 52 counts of child sexual abuse, some of which had occurred on the Penn State campus and at least one incident that had been re- ported to Paterno. The university would dismiss him a week later and he would die of lung cancer at age 85 two months after. Also starring in this biographi- cal drama from Barry Levinson ("Rain Man") are Riley Keough ("The Girlfriend Experience") as Sara Ganim, the young reporter who broke the scandal; Kathy Baker ("The Age of Adaline") as Sue Paterno, Joe's wife; Greg Grunberg ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens") and Larry Mitchell ("The Departed") as sons Scott and Jay; and Annie Parisse ("Na- tional Treasure") as daughter Mary Kay. "It is truly a tragedy and a trag- edy in all things," Levinson told a recent gathering of journalists in Pasadena, Calif., "in terms of what happened with the victims, in terms of what happened with Paterno, whether you think he did or he didn't (know about the abuse), it is ultimately a tragedy. It is a tragedy of enormous size, of which Sara (Ganim, the young reporter) was basically the first to start to write about it, and to put it out there. "And it took a while before it actually caught traction," he con- tinues. "That aspect of it is rather fascinating, that something like this was taking place. A young reporter, one year out of Penn State, is suddenly writing about this situation, and it took quite a while for the traction to take over. So we're dealing with Sara's story as she's following it, and we're dealing with Paterno." In Focus Al Pacino stars in "Paterno," premiering Saturday on HBO. "Reilly, Ace of Spies," acorn.tv Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park") was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role as Sidney Reilly, a Russian who became one of the greatest spies to work for the British, in this series that follows his exploits dur- ing World War I.
