Sharon went to public school on the Upper West Side until second grade, when a vice-principal told her mother to send her to Dalton, the exclusive academy for the wealthy. She got a partial scholarship. “I would never have called us poor,” she said. “My mother probably would have. They scrimped for the tuition.”
A birthday party for a Dalton classmate might involve a private movie at the Paramount screening room, complete with a help-yourself popcorn machine. Sharon had her birthday parties upstairs in the library.
The apartment at St. Agnes had a big kitchen and three bedrooms, one for her grandmother, a great reader. Sharon wore out books. “I would always be downstairs, creating these worlds for myself,” she said.
Over her girlhood, the Washingtons lived in three Manhattan libraries until her father could no longer manage the physical grind. Ms. Washington went on to Dartmouth College and then to drama school at Yale.

Sharon Washington Joker
The best superhero origin stories draw their power from a strange, durable tension: an inevitable destination but an unpredictable journey. We know that Bruce Wayne will one day put on some hosiery and swoop past skyscrapers, but how he arrives there, as he did in Christopher Nolan’s “Batman Begins” (2005), needn’t be a foregone conclusion. The complications of his family life, the realization of the talents that set him apart, the embrace of a symbolically powerful alter ego: All these familiar beats can be orchestrated and synthesized in ways that will seem both recognizable and revelatory to a shrewd, pop-savvy audience.
“Joker,” Todd Phillips’ sensationally grim new movie about the fall and rise of Batman’s greatest nemesis, fulfills these conventions so that it can turn them violently inside out. With impressive skill and commitment, the director and his star, Joaquin Phoenix, reverse the moral logic of the origin story, replacing its sense of emergent order with a dark plunge into alienation and chaos. We are witnessing the formation of a classic Gotham City persona: the white-faced, purple-suited maniac who has haunted the public’s imagination since his first comic-book appearance in the 1940s. But we are also seeing the disintegration of a man’s psyche in a story that seeks to elicit our pity as well as our terror.
And let us give this particular devil his due, as the Venice International Film Festival jury did last month when it handed “Joker” the prestigious Golden Lion for best film. Phillips has long been a Hollywood specialist in the comedy of stunted male misbehavior (the “Hangover” movies, “Old School”), and in “Joker,” the barely disguised misanthropic streak that animated his earlier films comes to full, spiky fruition. His filmmaking here has a powerful and uncharacteristic lucidity, and his vision of Gotham City has its own squalid grandeur, rooted in the gloomy interiors of Michael Friedberg’s production design and the deep, enveloping shadows of Lawrence Sher’s cinematography.
The man at the center of this impeccably rotting frame is Arthur Fleck (Phoenix), already the saddest of sacks when we meet him in the summer of 1981. Arthur lives with his mother (Frances Conroy) in a cramped apartment that represents only a mild improvement on the state mental hospital to which he was admitted some time ago. He meets with a social worker (Sharon Washington) who monitors his medication, peers at the creepy images and messages in his personal journal, and looks on in stony silence as Arthur laughs and laughs and laughs.
