Reid Goldberg is a features writer for Collider. Having grown up in the Midwest, he attended the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

The Big Picture Having deployed his trademark brand of verbal fireworks via stage plays, screenplays, and teleplays for decades, it was only a matter of time before renowned wordsmith Aaron Sorkin would try his hand at directing films. In 2017, he did just that when he stepped behind the camera to helm Molly's Game.

With skiing behind her, Bloom relocated to Los Angeles. Having worked as a waitress, she nearly-and fortuitously-was almost struck by a man in his car who, upon recognizing her work uniform, offered her a position at a restaurant and employment as his assistant. The man, whom Bloom refers to as Reardon Green in her book, also co-owned the Viper Room, a local club where he hosted poker games with tinsel town elites.

"I was bankrolling the games, vetting the players, extending the credit," she recalls. As the stakes surrounding her poker empire got higher and higher, Bloom made a crucial blunder. Wholly responsible for millions of dollars, and desperate to remain in control of the enterprise that had taken her to the top, she began skimming from the pot. "That's where I crossed that little gray line," Bloom told People.
