More than 300 people came to hear Shorewood’s own David Zucker talk about his new book and his 1980 hit movie “Airplane!”
The Shorewood Foundation kicked off its 60th anniversary year on Thursday, November 2, by welcoming acclaimed Hollywood director, producer and writer David Zucker home to Shorewood to talk about his new book, “Surely You Can’t be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!” Guests watched his hit 1980 film as part of the program, which was followed with a talkback session led by Fox 6 entertainment reporter Gino Salomone.
More than 300 people filled Shorewood High School's Gensler Auditorium, where Zucker entertained the crowd with quips and one-liners and fondly reminisced about growing up in Shorewood and the connection he still feels to the village. It was a night filled with celebration and laughter, and we're grateful to all those who attended.
Earlier that day, Zucker met with around 25 students at Shorewood High School, his alma mater. He also met with a small group of Foundation supporters at his childhood home.
The event was free to attend thanks to the Foundation. Since 1964, the Shorewood Foundation has leveraged your generous donations to make the village a great place to live, work, and raise a family. You’re invited to join us in advancing that work by making a special gift to celebrate our anniversary. Click here to learn more.
