"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.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In Planned Parenthood's first congressional appearance since being embarrassed by surreptitiously recorded videos, a House committee chairman insisted Tuesday that the organization does not need federal money and spends much of it on political activities.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, made the remarks to Cecile Richards, the group's president, as she waited to testify before his House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Her appearance marked the group's first public face-to-face encounter with Republicans since videos began emerging this summer showing the organization's officials discussing how they provide fetal tissue for research.
