Abstract:

This documentary presents the unforgettable story of eight remarkable residents of the Actor's Fund Home in Englewood New Jersey. This is no ordinary nursing home--it is the retirement home of film and stage artists, and the residents are still full of vitality as they recall tales of Broadway's golden age and what they have done with their lives. The film opens a compelling window onto the world of 20th-century performers, whose stories are filled with rich personal and historical details of a vanished world.
