George Takei to talk internment camps
BOSTON (AP) — “Star Trek” actor George Takei is scheduled to speak in Boston about his experiences in U.S. internment camps during World War II.
In an event at the Boston Public Library Tuesday, Takei will talk about his family’s history in the camps that put Japanese-Americans behind barbed wire between 1942 and 1946.
Takei used his family’s story as the inspiration for the Broadway musical “Allegiance.”
The show tells the narrative of the fictional Kimura family, whose lives are upended when they and 120,000 other Japanese-Americans are forced to leave their homes following the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
The cast of the SpeakEasy Stage Company’s production of Takei’s musical also will perform during the event.
Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis after individuals with tickets are seated.
Parton pays visit to Tenn. senior center
SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country music superstar Dolly Parton has paid a surprise visit to a senior center in Tennessee, where she sang, lifted weights and joked about her age.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports Parton came for a dedication ceremony Monday to give the facility a new name: the My People Senior Activity Center, in honor of her parents, Robert and Avie Lee Parton. Parton is a native of Sevierville in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
The 72-year-old singer joked that she’s a senior, too, and made fun of her plastic surgery.
She shouted “girl power” when she saw more women doing woodworking at the center than men.
At the event, Parton gave her own secret to staying young: Be busy, stay active and get involved.
