HOLLYWOOD - A star-studded reading of the screenplay for David McClintock's Indecent Exposure took place at an annex of New York's Public Theatre Sunday, New York Post columnist Neal Travis reported Tuesday. The book by the former Wall Street Journal reporter detailed one of Hollywood's most notorious scandals, which began in 1977 when actor Cliff Robertson revealed that Columbia Studios President David Begelman had cashed a $10,000 check made out by the studio to Robertson by forging the actor's endorsement. Sunday's script readers, according to Travis, included James Gandolfini, playing Begelman, and, in other roles, James Woods, Sigourney Weaver, Melanie Griffith, Stanley Tucci, Ron Silver, Bob Balaban, Julianna Margulies, Steve Buscemi, Giovanni Ribisi, Christine Baranski and Burt Young. Travis reported that the production has long been delayed because producers were forced to raise money outside of the studio system.
