DAVID ROTHENBERG HOLDS AUDIENCE CAPTIVE
A Teaneck native, Mr. Rothenberg spoke about his book, “Fortune in My Eyes,” a memoir that documents his fascinating life. He spoke about the foundation that he launched in 1967, the Fortune Society to help ex-prisoners re-enter society and put their past behind them. The audience was absolutely mesmerized as Mr. Rothenberg, in his own inimitable style, spoke about why he traded in a thriving career in theater, working with Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Lauren Bacall, to help the formerly-incarcerated and to reform the prison system. David Rothenberg won us over with his humor, sensational story-telling and good sense. In essence, he “made our day!” Click photo to enlarge  David Rothenberg poses for photo-op with NCJW BCS members |
