George Steinbrenner (1930–2010) Physique: Average Build Height: 6' (1.83 m)

George Michael Steinbrenner III was an American businessman who was the principal owner and managing partner of Major League Baseball's New York Yankees. During Steinbrenner's 37-year ownership from 1973 until his death in July 2010, the longest in club history, the Yankees earned seven World Series titles and 11 pennants. His outspokenness and role in driving up player salaries made him one of the sport's most controversial figures. He died after suffering a heart attack in his Tampa home on the morning of July 13, 2010, the day of the 81st All-Star Game.

Nicknamed "The Boss," Steinbrenner was the first sports owner I wanted to bone before I knew I wanted to bone him. Handsome with a demanding attitude, he looks like he would be really good in bed. A real 'beat that ass up and call you bitch' kind of guy. I could be totally wrong on that, but don't ruin that image for me.

I’ve always been pissed about what happened to the Rosenbergs...

So I really am glad this is happening. 

Excerpt: 

NYT:  What inspired you to return to your grandparents’ story now and consider Roy Cohn through a broader lens?

Meeropol:  The simple answer is Donald Trump. I did not relish returning to my family story, and in fact I never thought I would. Maybe in some other form, but not in a documentary. I really thought after “Heir to an Execution,” that was it. That film took almost five years of buildup and then production and then a whole year of my life, and it was an exhausting and emotionally draining process.

I always felt that Roy Cohn was a very interesting figure to look at and would make a great film subject. I really hoped that someone else would do it. He’s such a rich and important and complex subject and it just didn’t happen, except for fictional narrative treatments of him. So after Trump was elected, I felt that it was something I had to do. It was that similar feeling I had when I embarked on “Heir to an Execution.” I felt compelled.
