You remember the headlines, but you won’t believe the real story.
On Wednesday and Thursday, get a look into the mind of the man who pulled off one of the greatest cons in history in the primetime miniseries “Madoff," at 7 p.m. Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss stars as Bernie Madoff, with Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Blythe Danner as his wife, Ruth. “Madoff” will follow the prodigious rise and abrupt demise of the former investment advisor and the subsequent fallout with his family, associates and investors.
