Carter, Actors’ Home, K’naan
Old is the new young. At a home for retired actors, residents keep up their talents. Composer Elliot Carter turns 100. And Kurt Andersen seeks wisdom from his very first boss, the film critic Gene Shalit. Plus, music and stories from songwriter Ruthie Foster and Somali-born rapper K’naan.
