  • Executive Producer) – Sonny Grosso Began His Career As an NYC Police Officer
    ‘CITIZEN JANE’ PRODUCTION BIOS SONNY GROSSO (Executive Producer) – Sonny Grosso began his career as an NYC Police officer. After being on the force for only three and a half years, he was promoted to the Narcotics Bureau, reaching the rank of first grade detective faster than any one in the history of the New York Police Department. Unbeknown to Grosso at the time, this unusual career move established him firmly in the entertainment business, for it was Grosso, along with his partner, Eddie Egan, who broke the famous French Connection narcotics case, catapulting him into the national spotlight. Once the case broke, he worked with renowned author Robin Moore on the book, The French Connection and later collaborated with director William Friedkin and producer Phil D'Antoni writing and producing the theatrical screenplay for the film adaptation. Following the enormous international success of “The French Connection,” Grosso became part of the production and writing of such projects as “The Godfather,” “Cruising,” “The Brinks Job,” “Report to the Commissioner” and “the Seven Ups,” along with several classic television series including “Kojak,” “Baretta” and “The Rockford Files.” In 1977, he authored two books, Murder at the Harlem Morgue and Point Blank, the latter of which was produced as the highly acclaimed CBS mini-series, “A Question of Honor.” ### LARRY JACOBSON (Executive Producer) – Larry Jacobson's career as a television executive and producer spans more than 30 successful years. Since starting at NBC, Jacobson has been involved in producing every form of television programming from the world famous Emmy Awards ® ceremony to the well-known “NBC Children’s Theater.” In the mid 1970s, he created and was executive producer of the multi-award winning Emmy nominated series “Water World,” starring Lloyd Bridges.
