Watch: Julie Taymor in the Epstein files
1:04Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Julie Taymor appears in records connecting Epstein to her theatrical work and social circle. The files include a 2012 letter to Epstein written at Taymor’s suggestion about a theater company’s fundraising campaign, a dinner entry listing Taymor with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, and an account in later correspondence that Epstein said he was friends with her and had obtained good seats for The Lion King.
The most substantive records are an October 2012 letter to Epstein written at Taymor’s suggestion about Theatre for a New Audience’s capital campaign, and a 2017 calendar entry for dinner with Taymor, Woody Allen, and Soon-Yi Previn. Other emails list her among people to see or note when she would be in New York. A 2020 email recounts someone’s recollection that Epstein claimed to be friends with Taymor and said she had given him good Lion King seats; a related record says this was understood as Epstein bragging, not as proof of the claim. The archive counts 76 documents, mostly emails, but only two have Taymor in the sender or recipient headers; the excerpts do not establish that she personally exchanged emails with Epstein.
Key Highlights
- •An October 8, 2012 letter to Epstein says it was written at Taymor’s suggestion and asks for support for Theatre for a New Audience’s capital campaign.
- •A September 2017 calendar entry lists dinner with Woody Allen, Soon-Yi Previn, and Taymor.
- •A later account says Epstein bragged that he knew Taymor and had good seats for The Lion King; the record reports the claim and does not independently verify who arranged the seats.
- •The archive has 76 documents mentioning Taymor: 66 emails, five other records, four travel records, and one medical record. Only two emails include her in a From/To/Cc header.
