Director Danny Gold shares details from behind the scenes with Carl Reiner, Dick Van Dyke, Betty White, Kirk Douglas, and in a free virtual event that is part of this year’s United Jewish Federation of Tidewater and Simon Family JCC’s 28th annual Virginia Festival of Jewish Film, presented by Patricia & Avraham Ashkenazi and Alma & Howard Laderberg.
The event is paired with the screening of Gold’s film, If You’re Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast. It is being brought back to Tidewater for a second time to honor the incredible work of Carl Reiner, following his passing last year.
Before joining the conversation on May 6 between Gold and Carol Jason, watch Reiner and his star-studded cast of friends share their secrets to thriving in their 90s and beyond.
