What do you think you know about growing old? When did we decide that aging begins at 65?

Aging is one of the most compelling issues today, with record numbers of seniors over sixty-five worldwide! Here Ellyn Lem, author of Gray Matters, examines a diverse array of cultural works including films, literature, and even art that represent this time of life, often made by people who are seniors themselves from all walks of life.

Ellyn Lem’s research wasn’t just from gerontology, she surveyed over 200 real people over the ages of 65....and she shares fun tidbits about how to keep it real regarding aging, sexuality, gender differences, parent child relationships, housing, money, and work. Be prepared to be surprised!
