Their Final Say

Monday, June 21, 2021, at 6:30 pm via Zoom

FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Host: Dwane Starlin, Chairman of the Arts Club of Washington History Committee

Whether uttered unintentionally or with the full expectation of death, a person's last words are those that people will often remember and quote as if they somehow represent the core of who that person was. This is especially true of historical figures for which final words both humanize them and add to their mythology. As we near Memorial Day, it's a good time for Arts Club member and Washington, DC "Edutainer" Dwane Starlin's entertaining virtual presentation of stories behind the last words of famous actors, writers, politicians, artists, and cultural figures delivered in character as the legendary journalist Walter Cronkite.
