The Paley Center for Media has announced an updated schedule of special events for the coming weeks.

On October 27, the venue will host A President to Remember: In the Company of John F. Kennedy. For this event, Alec Baldwin will interview Robert Drew about his new documentary on President Kennedy, which has been composed from Drew’s acclaimed John Kennedy films.

Actors Laura Linney, Oliver Platt, Gabourey Sidibe, Phyllis Somerville, John Benjamin Hickey, and Darlene Hunt, along with producers Jenny Bicks and Vivian Cannon will be at the Paley Center on November 1 for a panel discussion, which will follow a special advance screening of that night’s episode of Showtime’s The Big C.

In addition, the Paley Center will offer The Crowd Goes Wild: Five Years of The Jersey Boys on November 8 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Broadway show. The event will feature a conversation with original Four Seasons members Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio, and Jersey Boys co-authors Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, who will discuss the legacy of the band and the production of the Broadway show, and share archival performance clips with the audience.
