		The film Maggie Growls, which kicks off the new, weekly Independent Lens series on Tuesday, February 4 at 10 p.m., is a portrait of the amazing, canny, lusty, charming and unstoppable Maggie Kuhn, who founded the Gray Panthers in 1970 after being forced to retire from a job she loved at the age of 65.
		Kuhn's insistence on talking publicly about sex, which often made her listeners squirm, leads to a serious re-thinking about what growing old was all about.
		Kuhn, who continued to play a role in the Gray Panthers until her death at age 89 in 1995, is widely acknowledged as having started nothing less than a contemporary cultural revolution, both in terms of redefining the meaning of age and through her insistence on "young and old together."

		Kuhn fought off efforts by everyone from politicians to the managers of nursing homes to treat the elderly like amusing children, instead insisting on a place at the table and voice in decision-making that affected the lives of the old.

		Maggie Kuhn founded the Gray Panthers when she reached age 65, and has served as National Convener of that Organization since 1970.

		Nader, Goldwater said, wanted Kuhn to move to Washington, the place where he said that "all politics happened," but Kuhn, who was caring for a mentally ill brother in Philadelphia, wanted to stay put.
		Goldwater believes that although Maggie loved the limelight and political discussions, if she had a weakness at all it was the fact that the limelight may have gotten to her.
		Kuhn, in fact, spent her later years on Greene Street in Germantown in an intergenerational household, sharing her living space with many female students from The Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.

	Presbyterian News Service release number 03067
		LOUISVILLE — Maggie Kuhn, a Presbyterian who founded the Gray Panthers in 1970 after being forced to retire at age 65 by the former United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, will be featured in a PBS documentary tonight (Feb. 4)entitled “Maggie Growls.”
		Kuhn, who died in 1995 at the age of 90, turned her outrage at having to leave the job she loved in the UPCUSA’s Social Education and Action Office in New York into one of the most potent social movements of the 20th century.
		With a disarming mixture of humor, shock value and common sense, Kuhn used her high visibility and the clout of the Gray Panthers to combat media stereotypes that denigrated the elderly and went on to champion universal health care, nursing home reform, shared housing and consumer protections for the most vulnerable in society.

		Maggie Kuhn (1905-1995) founded the Gray Panthers after being forced to leave the workforce at the age of 65, in what Ralph Nader describes as "the most significant retirement in history." It galvanized Maggie's campaign against mandatory retirement and ageism.
		Her outrage fueled a political chain reaction that left society's treatment of older Americans forever changed.
		"The film, which combines interviews and news footage with whimsical animation, is as offbeat and spirited as Kuhn herself, who died after nearly 90 years of raising hell."

	History
		In 1970, when the United Presbyterian church informed 65 year-old Maggie Kuhn that she would have to retire from her executive position, she was suprised and unprepared. But, instead of bemoaning her fate, she proceeded to do what she'd done all her life: changed the rules.
		They forged an intergenerational organization they called "The Consultation of Older and Younger Adults for Social Change". Their motto: "Age and Youth in Action". At the suggestion of a television producer, Maggie decided that her group's name should be changed to the "Gray Panthers".
		Adoption of this name, according to Maggie Kuhn's biography "No Stone Unturned", "gave us a sense of urgency and, after all, we did want to create a stir".
