“Catch Me If You Can” has been shown by AARP in Casper and Torrington already as AARP Wyoming promotes AARP’s FraudWatch Network and FraudWatch Network ambassador Frank Abagnale, Jr. who was the inspiration for the movie.  Abagnale was in Casper this summer where he offered a presentation on how to keep your identity safe on behalf of AARP Wyoming. That presentation can be seen here . To learn more about Frank Abagnale visit:

In the Oscar-nominated movie directed by Steven Spielberg, “Catch Me If You Can” looks at the life of Frank Abagnale, Jr. In his early years Abagnale (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) successfully impersonated a doctor, a lawyer, and a co-pilot for a major airline -- all before his 18th birthday. A master of deception, he was also a brilliant forger, whose skill gave him his first real claim to fame. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) makes it his prime mission to capture Frank and bring him to justice, but Frank is always one step ahead of him.   Since his arrest at age 21, Abagnale has worked with the FBI on fraud for over 40 years and is also a FraudWatch Ambassador for AARP.

AARP presents “Catch Me If You Can,”  through its Movies For Grownups series, which seeks to fight social isolation in those age 50 and over.
