Jennifer Esposito Says A “Harvey Weinstein-Esque” Producer Almost “Killed” Her Career At 26
As she makes her directorial debut, Jennifer Esposito recently reflected on how her early career was impacted by a "notorious, brutal producer."
The Fresh Kills writer and director recalled the “really painful time” in her life, when the producer had her fired “for no reason” and went on to lie about her on-set behavior, telling others not to work with her. Now playing in theaters, Fresh Kills brings late 1980s Staten Island to life through the lens of Rose Larusso (Emily Bader), an inquisitive young girl who discovers her father (Domenick Lombardozzi) is an emerging mafia kingpin. Rose’s growing desire to break free from the path set before her soon threatens her existence and alienates her from her closest allies: her mother Francine (Esposito), her sister Connie (Odessa A’zion), and her aunt Christine (Annabella Sciorra).
