Julie Taymor, the acclaimed theater and film director known for The Lion King and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, appears 14 times across 13 documents in the Epstein files, primarily in email exchanges discussing potential social gatherings and as a participant in educational video projects.
Taymor appears in two distinct contexts: first, as someone being considered for dinner invitations alongside other cultural figures like Mick Jagger, Bill Clinton, and Ken Starr; and second, as a confirmed participant in what appears to be an educational video series where she had already filmed content. Several documents show her name on attendee lists for events, including one that appears to be a roster for a gathering featuring numerous intellectuals, artists, and scientists. The mentions span casual email inquiries about availability and more formal participant lists, suggesting she was part of Epstein's broader network of cultural and academic figures.
Key Highlights
- •Named as someone to potentially invite to dinners alongside Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger, and Ken Starr in multiple email exchanges
- •Listed as having already filmed content for what appears to be an educational video project, alongside performers like John Lithgow, Diane Paulus, and Herbie Hancock
- •Appears on an extensive roster of notable figures including Steven Pinker, E.O. Wilson, will.i.am, and dozens of other prominent intellectuals and artists
- •One mention references her Broadway work, specifically noting her Spider-Man production and awards for The Lion King
- •The casual tone of emails ('can find out if mick jagger, ken starr, clinton. julie taymor, are in town/?') suggests she was considered part of a regular social circle
