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).
