Michigan seniors model as Hollywood scenes for calendar

Residents in their 80s and 90s from a Michigan retirement community are modeling for a 2018 calendar. The Lansing State Journal reports the new calendar for Burcham Hills Retirement Community will go on sale next week. An autograph signing will take place Tuesday at the retirement center in East Lansing. 

The idea of longtime resident Bruce Greenman, the 14-month calendar features famous Hollywood scenes and characters from the 1930s through the 1970s. Residents from the community posed to recreate famous scenes ranging from "The Sound of Music" to the "Mary Tyler Moore Show." Riverwalk Threatre loaned the costumes for the residents.

Staffer Alesha Williams took the photos while 17-year-old Maia Harris used editing software to create the scenes. A 2016 calendar from the same group raised $6,000.
