“The Great Gatsby” Revisited: An Evening with Sam Waterston

✨ Step into the world of Gatsby… right here in Newport.
We’re honored to welcome Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actor Sam Waterston for the David B. Ford Family Lecture: “The Great Gatsby” Revisited — a special evening marking the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel and its 1974 film adaptation.

Moderated by award-winning NBC journalist Anne Thompson, this conversation will explore Waterston’s experience playing Nick Carraway in the classic film, which was partially filmed at Rosecliff, Marble House, and other Newport Mansions.
Enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres on the oceanside terrace, then step into the ballroom where Gatsby’s guests once danced — as Sam Waterston shares personal memories, behind-the-scenes moments, and reflections on why this timeless story still speaks to us today.
