October 8 • 2015 43 as of Sept. 29, 2015). Fun facts: Mendel is Mitchell's Hebrew name and Gedalia Yitzhak is Geoff's Hebrew name. AT THE MOVIES Opening Friday, Oct. 9: The Walk, a 3-D film, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 34, as Phillipe Petit, the French tight-rope walker most famous for, in 1974, stringing a line between the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center and successfully walk- ing from one tower to the next. Steve Jobs is the third bio-pic about the co-creator of Apple since his death, and critics all agree that it's by far the best one. Directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), the film's screenplay by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network), 54, drew from a Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson, 62. The film centers on the launch of three iconic Apple products, ending with the iMac intro in 1998. Michael Fassbender plays Jobs, with Seth Rogen, 33, as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Other major real-life characters include John Sculley (played by Michigander Jeff Daniels). Sculley forced Jobs out of Apple in 1985, but Jobs returned in 1997; Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet), now 60, the marketing chief of Macintosh; and Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg, 47), now 62. Hertzfeld wrote much of the code for the original Mac operating system, including many elements of its signature graphical user interface. * The Schwartzes Stuhlbarg WHODUNNIT?
