SHATNER TURNS 90;
WOOD’S JEWISH STORY
On March 22, William
Shatner will turn 90. But his
star still burns bright and
his trek goes on. His latest
film, Senior Moment, opens
in theaters and on-demand
March 26. Shatner stars as
Victor, a retired NASA test
pilot whose license gets
taken away after he’s found
speeding in his vintage
Porsche convertible with
his best friend (Christopher
Lloyd of Back to the Future
fame).
Victor’s life changes as
he finds himself trying to
get around by riding the
bus, spurring his meeting
with the beautiful free-spir-
it Caroline (played by
Jean Smart, 69, a star of
Designing Women). Victor
and Caroline have very dif-
ferent lifestyles and, Smart
says, they have to “negoti-
ate their romance.” But, she
added, they [end up] “filling
each other’s gaps.”
Shatner postponed a
90-year-blowout cele-
bration until this summer,
when things will (we hope)
be much better. He’ll cel-
ebrate at a museum near
Syracuse, New York, that
houses a hand-built, precise
replica of the Enterprise
bridge. Festivities include a
$1,500-a-ticket gala dinner
with Shatner himself (the
ticket includes a selfie with
the former Capt. Kirk, an
autographed photo and a
couple of other goodies).
Evan Rachel Wood, 33,
was a child when she began
acting in made-for-TV films
in the ’90s. In 2003, she had
her breakthrough star role
in Thirteen, a gritty, critically
acclaimed film about two
teen girls. In the following
years, she costarred in many
prestige film and TV proj-
ects. She received a Golden
Globe nomination for
Thirteen and Golden Globe
and Emmy nominations
for the mini-series Mildred
Pierce and the TV show
Westworld.
Her Jewish background
has long been confused. In
a commentary track for one
video (2004) she said she
was Jewish. In 2005, theater
director Ira Wood, Evan’s
non-Jewish father, made a
confusing statement that
you could take to mean that
Evan’s mother converted to
Judaism when she (Evan’s
mother) was a teen — or
when Evan became a teen.
Evan’s mother, Sara Lynn
Moore, 62, is a respected
Hollywood-based acting
coach. She and Ira Wood
split when Evan was about
10. Her present husband is
Jewish. The timing of her
conversion was clarified
last September when Evan
posted a photo of her moth-
er taken when her mother
was just 16. In the photo,
her mom is wearing a large
Star-of-David on a pendant.
Clearly, Sara converted to
Judaism when she was a
teen. (Why Sara, the child of
non-Jewish parents, decid-
ed to become Jewish at
such a young age is still not
public).
