Here are all the Hollywood actors named in the Epstein files as 'all files released'
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently announced that all of the Epstein files have now been made public, including millions of emails, photographs, and other documents, with many including names of prominent figures within the film industry.
Hollywood is no stranger to scandal: from Harvey Weinstein's crimes and Roman Polanski fleeing the United States after a sexual assault conviction in 1978 to Alec Baldwin’s fatal shooting of film producer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, on the set of ‘Rust’.
In an update submitted to Congress on February 14, the Department of Justice released what it called a final list of 305 prominent figures, with celebrities, political leaders, and decorated movie stars among them.
Epstein files cast spotlight on Hollywood
The silver screen has been confronted with further controversy amid the release of the Epstein files, proving that fact is often very much stranger than fiction.
The department emphasized that inclusion in the Epstein materials does not imply guilt or criminal involvement. Many of those named, such as former Prince Andrew, have long been linked to Epstein, but this marks the first time such an extensive official list has been publicly shared.
The document features a wide range of individuals—both living and deceased—who were referenced at least once in the Epstein records, including Golden Age icon Marilyn Monroe, whose premature death pre-dated Epstein’s alleged crimes.
L.A. Confidential: Spacey caught up in further scandal
Kevin Spacey is another such pre-eminent name who appears in the files, with the American Beauty star pictured alongside the disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and former President Bill Clinton at the Winston Churchill War Rooms in 2002.
The actor, who is currently facing criminal charges for sexual misconduct, isn’t the only Hollywood Walk of Famer who features in the Epstein files, with filmmaker Brett Ratner and Barbra Streisand both appearing in the approximately 3.5 million-page file.
The Annie Hall and Manhattan auteur, Woody Allen, is another such name referenced in the documents. The 90-year-old actor-director and his wife Soon-Yi were alleged to have been in attendance at a dinner party hosted by the late financier, in New York in 2010, with Prince Andrew, publicist Peggy Siegal, and presenters Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos all in attendance.
Allen, who has diminished his presence at the party, was revealed to have exchanged several emails with Epstein, including the veteran director discussing fellow filmmakers.
Other names in the finalized files include cinematic icon Robert De Niro, as well as Alec Baldwin, Amy Schumer, Chris Tucker, and Alyssa Milano.
