This week: ACTIVE OCTOGENARIANS
Host Cynthia Friedlob talks with actor/producer Jackie Goldberg, author Sunie Levin, and pianist Jim Maurer
JACKIE GOLDBERG, known as 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. Ten years ago, 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 Senior Star Power Productions and an annual live stage show featuring performers over the age of sixty. This year’s show, “Rockin’ with the Ages – The Beat Goes On,” opens at the Theatre of Arts Arena Stage in Hollywood on October 4th.

She founded the Midwest Reading and Dyslexia Clinic in Kansas City, Missouri, for children and adults with learning problems.

She’s conducted workshops and seminars throughout the country and was a syndicated columnist for many newspapers.
