Second hour: Ed welcomes actress Shelley Morrison (The Flying Nun, General Hospital, Will & Grace), along with her husband, documentary filmmaker Walter Dominguez. Shelly is the executive producer, and Walter is the writer, director and producer, of Weaving the Past: Journey of Discovery, a moving story about Walter’s attempt to trace the roots of his grandfather Emilio Hernandez. The film originally began as a family project, but soon evolved into a much bigger story that discusses not only Mexican-American history, but issues of social justice that are still relevant today. Shelley and Walter will host a benefit gala screening of Weaving the Past on May 18 that will benefit the soon-to-be-opened Museum of Social Justice, located on historic Olvera Street in Los Angeles.
