Gretchen Mol Will be Appearing in HBO NewSeries 'Boardwalk Empire'

Gretchen Mol

Creator Terence Winter explains, “So much is going on," adding, "Women get the right to vote, the Black Sox scandal had just happened, broadcast radio came in and young people were starting to come to the fore influencing culture. All that, plus Prohibition was enacted."

The Martin Scorsese-directed pilot to "Boardwalk Empire," much like his film "Gangs of New York" is ripe with sharp creative direction and rich period detail.

HBO is auctioning two tickets to the September 15th Boardwalk Empire Premiere Screening and Party to raise funds for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. The lucky winner and a friend will rub elbows with the likes of Buscemi, Gretchen Mol, Paz de la Huerta, Michael Pitt and other cast members as they celebrate the new series launch in New York.
