BOSTON – Mayor Marty Walsh's bid to host a Labor Day weekend IndyCar race next year ran into some sharp curves today as reports surfaced suggesting taxpayer money will be needed to stage the three-day Grand Prix of Boston, while some neighborhood residents asserted that the race is illegal.
The Boston Herald reported that race organizers have met with state and other so-called quasi-public agencies to "hammer out contracts to tap public resources" to help pay for the event, planned in South Boston's Seaport District.
"The Intern," starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, is the latest vehicle 65-year-old Nancy Meyers uses to cover the not-so-familiar territory of graying successfully. Written, directed and produced by Meyers, the colorful film feels and sounds like two of her many films: 2003's "Something's Gotta Give" with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, and 2009's "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Meyers continues to drive home the notion aging can be evergreen.
This comedy, like the others, cruises through a well crafted story using baby boomers as lead characters. The actors in each of these films are relatable and relevant not despite their age; rather, because of it.
