Unfortunately and tragi- cally, many will remember him for the scandal that brought it all to an end. In HBO Films' "Paterno," premiering Saturday, April 7, Oscar winner Al Pacino ("The Godfather," "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 coordi- nator 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 reported 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 biographical drama from Barry Levinson ("Rain Man") are Riley Keough ("The Girlfriend Experi- ence") 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 Awak- ens") and Larry Mitchell ("The Departed") as sons Scott and Jay; and Annie Parisse ("National Trea- sure") as daughter Mary Kay. "It is truly a tragedy and a tragedy 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 continues. "That aspect of it is rather fascinating, that some- thing 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." Al Pacino stars in "Paterno," premiering Saturday on HBO.
