“The Living Century,” a PBS biography series featured in the Tribune last April, is searching for more stars. The key is that those stars must be at least 100 years old.
Each 30-minute episode in the series profiles one person who has lived virtually the entire 20th Century.
Past episodes have featured Rose Freedman (born in 1893), the last remaining survivor of the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911, and Ray Crist (born in 1900), who helped develop the atomic bomb and currently does environmental research.
