JACKIE GOLDBERG, known as the Pink Lady, is a teacher, actor, writer, and toastmaster. For over 40 years, she was in the fashion industry as a Womens’ Wear marketing & sales rep. At age 70, she developed a series of seminars called, “Get Up, Get Out, & Get a Life,” to encourage fellow seniors to embrace new challenges. She also began an acting career. This led to her creation of the non-profit Senior Star Power Productions and an annual live stage show featuring performers over the age of sixty. The 2017 show will be an intergenerational version of last year’s “America Salutes Our Veterans.” Audition info here for the show coming up in the Fall. More about Jackie here.
