WALTER SCOTT’S

QI am really enjoying American Odyssey,

especially Peter Facinelli.

What can you tell me about him?

—Haley W., Oklahoma City, Okla.

A: Facinelli, 41, is best known as Carlisle Cullen from the Twilight franchise. Prior to playing Peter Decker on American Odyssey (Sundays on NBC), the New York City native appeared in Nurse Jackie, Glee, Damages and Six Feet Under. “The fun of acting is stepping into other people’s shoes,” says the father of three daughters.

Q: I’ve seen Blythe Danner recently on TV commercials, but does she have anything else in the works?

—Janet D., Ocean City, N.J.

A: Indeed—Danner, 72, is the star of a new movie opening this week. I’ll See You in My Dreams is a comedy-drama about a widow who, after the death of her beloved dog, reconnects with life and finds love again. Danner, whose own husband, actor Bruce Paltrow, died in 2002, says she could relate in several ways to her character. “She’s close to my situation,” says the actress, mom to Gwyneth Paltrow. “I [also] liked the fact that she’s no-nonsense and has a snarky side.”

Q: What are the former stars of Law and Order—Chris Meloni and Vincent D’Onofrio—doing?

—Joan M., Downingtown, Pa.

A: Meloni, 54, who played NYPD detective Elliot Stabler in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for 12 years, stars in the new series Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, to be released July 17 on Netflix. After that, he begins filming for WGN America’s slave drama Underground, scheduled for 2016. Law and Order: Criminal Intent alum, D’Onofrio, 55, currently appears in Netflix’s Marvel series Daredevil as the devious underboss Kingpin, and also stars in Jurassic World, in theaters June 12.

When The CW premiered its Monday night comedy Jane the Virgin last fall, they introduced a fresh new face: Gina Rodriguez, 30, who won a 2015 Golden Globe for her role as a young, single woman who gets pregnant when her doctor artificially inseminates her by mistake.

When you were a struggling actress, why did you turn down roles that you felt were stereotypes for Latina actresses? “It was important to reflect the life on screen that I had inside my home. I just had to be patient. Luckily, I waited.”

What was your Chicago childhood like? “We grew up in the ‘hood. I wore my sister’s clothes until I was, like, 15 years old. That isn’t woe-is-me, that was just reality. But my eldest sister started her own private equity firm, and my other sister took out loans to go to medical school. And our parents worked nonstop to make sure we had the best education.”

Do you think Jane opens the door for conversations about sex between parents and kids? “It definitely opens up a door not only on sex, but sexual orientation, immigration and the way we treat one another.”

What do you do in your downtime? “I love to travel. Every second I get, I want to go somewhere new, learn a new language and a new culture. I want to be exposed to as many things I don’t know as possible.”

EMAIL YOUR QUESTIONS FOR WALTER SCOTT TO [email protected]

Sarah Braverman Lauren Graham on Parenthood ”Just do something. You don’t need an invitation to your own life.”

Gabrielle Solis Eva Longoria on Desperate Housewives “The reason I’m on this diet is carrying you two brats for 18 months made mommy fat.”

Marge Simpson Julie Kavner on The Simpsons “This family has had its differences and we’ve squabbled, but we’ve never had knife fights before.”

Carol Brady Florence Henderson on The Brady Bunch “You shouldn’t put down a loser, Cindy, because you might be one yourself someday.”

For Mother’s Day, we celebrate pearls of wisdom from some of our favorite TV moms.

WALTER SCOTT’S

Just because I’m 77 doesn’t mean I’ve stopped learning. I’m a perpetual student, always striving to be better. I just hired an acting coach for the first time in 50 years because I wanted to fine-tune my instrument, as we actors say. I wanted to be my best on my new Netflix proj-ect, Grace and Frankie. I love working on a show about older women coping with modern-day problems, like trying to find a job (or an identity) when your husband leaves you for a man, or managing an overly entitled adult child—women who came of age in the ’60s and some-times smoke a little pot when they need to just chill.

These have been some of the most interesting years of my life. After leaving the business for 15 years, I never dreamed I’d be in my 70s when I landed a job playing one of the best roles I’ve ever had—a gutsy media mogul not unlike my ex-husband, [CNN’s Ted Turner] on The Newsroom, or that my fit-ness videos would be reaching new audiences, or my Being a Teen advice book would become a bestseller.

It’s not luck that got me here. I got here through perseverance. My family actually once had a coat of arms that said “Perse-verate”—persevere. I do not give up. I never felt I was good enough, smart enough or nice enough so I’ve worked hard at those things in myself. I still do.

I’m proud that at my age, and with my success, I still want to get better. So I push myself to be better at everything, includ-ing as a human being. I was raised to feel that if I didn’t look a certain way, I’d never be loved. It wasn’t until I was in my 50s that I finally learned to give myself a break and pay more at-tention to what’s inside.

I’m a quintessential late bloomer. For someone who grew up trying to please men at any cost, becoming a feminist was a slow pro-cess. I was in my 60s be-fore I learned that I didn’t need a man to validate me. But men have taught me important things. First there was my dad. It’s not that he ever sat me on his lap and told me life lessons. But I had my father’s movies: The Grapes of Wrath, 12 Angry Men, Young Mr. Lincoln. He played char-acters I knew he loved: men who stood up for the underdog, fought for freedom and equality and justice. My father taught me values through those films.

I learned different things from each of my three hus-bands. From my first [director Roger Vadim], I learned about being a woman. My second hus-band [Tom Hayden] taught me how to make a difference as an activist, and that remains very important for me.

I met my third husband, Ted, at a time when I was very

unhappy. He taught me how to laugh. He gave me confidence. People think I gave up acting for him, but that’s not true. I was just too unhappy to be creative then. We’re still good friends—he came to my 75th birthday party and we speak regularly.

With Richard [Perry], my cur-rent partner, we are dealing with the issues of aging and how

to take care of each other. Rich-ard is very different than the men I was married to. He isn’t threatened by my strength, my work or my traveling. He’s kind.

I’m keenly aware that there’s not that much time left. Just today, my dog, Tulea, turned 10 and I thought, what if I outlive her? Would I get another dog? Or is it too close to the end? Could I housebreak a dog at 85? Could I bend over enough?

The time I have is precious and I don’t want to waste it. I don’t have a bucket list. A lot of things I wanted to do I can’t do anymore, like trek through Tibet. But a lot of things I’ve done I can do better. It’s never too late. That’s really the mes-sage of my life.

—As told to Gayle Jo Carter

The unstoppable, 70-something actress-activist-exercise guru, starring in an edgy new Netflix comedy, refuses to rest on her (two) Oscars.

HOW I GOT HERE

JANE FONDA

“I push myself to be better at everything, including as a human being.”

Her perfor-mance wins her an Academy Award for Best Actress. 1981 Accepts the Oscar on be-half of her co-star and father, legendary actor Henry Fonda, for On Golden Pond—“one of the proudest moments of my life,” she says. He died five months later.1982 Ignites the home video fitness craze with Workout Starring Jane Fonda.

After losing a son to a traumatic brain injury,

s golden Southern Californiasunshine pours through the win-dows of a barn in the small town of Ramona, a group of kids with

special needs is killing it on the dance floor. Giggles ripple through the room as they do the two-step, copying the footwork their dance teacher demonstrates.

Standing in the wings, Nicola Bridges, 49, is half smiling, half fighting happy tears while video-taping the fun on her smartphone. In January, she and her husband, Tony Oxley, opened Capability Ranch, an activity and events center for youth and young adults with special needs, and line dancing is quickly becoming one of the favorite activities on the roster. Like her 19-year-old son, Owen, who’s groov-ing to the beat, most of the kids who come to the ranch have neurological develop-mental delays, including autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome and brain traumas, but anyone’s welcome to join the fun. After years as a publishing execu-tive with a yearning to “do somethingmore meaningful,” Bridges gave up her publishing career to open Capabil-ity Ranch for those she lovingly refers

to as the “awesome tribe of familieswith special-needs children.”

But the aha! moment that inspired her came with a huge price tag.

A Dream DeferredBridges’ first inkling that she was meantfor something like this was almost 20 years ago, when she was living in Brook-lyn, N.Y., with her first husband and two

young sons. Jug-gling her family and a demanding, high-powered job at a large publishing company — plus the guilt so many working mothers carry — was begin-ning to eat away at her spirit. Owen’s autism diagnosis at the age of 2 compli-cated things further by exposing Bridges to a new world — and a new source of stress. “If you have two ‘normal’

kids, you’d never have reason to know that in the basement of a church in Brooklyn Heights there’s a program for special-needs children,” Bridges says. “But there I was, trying to figure out what an autism diagnosis meant.”

�e seed for Capability Ranch sprouted in the frenzied cracks between balancing Owen’s needs with those of her older son, Jack, her career and her husband. “One day, I realized that if I could start over, I’d be a teacher or a special-education facilitator,” she says. “It was just a feeling, but it stayed with me for years.”

In the meantime, she continued in the so-called rat race. As Owen’ s autism pro-gressed, bills piled up. Years passed. Her kids grew, and so did her career. Eventually she divorced, remarried and relocated to San Diego. Jack went off to college at the University of Maryland. Bridges continued

hustling, both at home and at work. If she wasn’t with Owen, she was glued to her phone or computer, or she was on a plane en route to a meeting.

Kimberly Williams-Paisley: Fighting Dementia to Help her Mom

She’s had roles on shows such as Nashville and According to Jim, but it’s her work on behalf of her mother, Linda, who suffers from a rare form of dementia, that Kimberly Williams-Paisley, 43, considers among her greatest achievements. As a spokesperson for the Alzheim-er’s Association, she is raising aware-ness of the disease whose “collateral damage has af-fected everyone in my family. My two boys were born a few years after Mom was diagnosed," says the wife of country star Brad Paisley. "It hit me one day that they would mostly remember her as a woman in a wheelchair who couldn’t speak.” Her mother was diagnosed at 61, which isn’t surprising given that women in their sixties have a one-in-six chance of developing Alzheimer’s. “It’s a much greater threat to them than breast cancer,” says Williams-Paisley. “Even if you’re not currently affected by dementia, you probably will be—as a patient, a family mem-ber or friend.” She is particularly interested in helping the 15 million caregivers like her. “Many are overwhelmed and physically sick from the grueling work of tending those with dementia,” she says. “I want to rally support for more research to find a cure.”

“new normal” until Jack was wellenough to be on his own again.

When she wasn’t flying back and forth across the country visiting Jack, Bridges was busy working and caring for Owen, who stayed in her husband’s carewhenever she left town. “Caring for Owen isn’t easy,” says Bridges.“Parents of autistic kids often say that going to work is the easy part.”

Back in Maryland, Jack startedwalking and talking—his doctors called it an extraordinary recovery. But seizures regularly sent him back to the hospital. He endured several surgeries that left his skull slightly disfigured.

Eventually, Bridges began to unravel. It wasn’t a slow and steady dismantling. It was more of an electric shock. “It’s as if I’d been holding my breath emotionally and suddenly all my fears came pouring out,’” she says. While she was keeping up appearances, she was completely stressed out. She couldn’t help thinking, We already have brain issues in our family, why not somebody else? “It’s a terrible

thing to say, but it’s how I felt,” she confesses. Sleep eluded her. She sought counseling and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

"It Looked Like Narnia"Bridges and Oxley found solaceriding their Harley through the Ramona grasslands on the out-skirts of San Diego. “We were

closet cowboys,” she says. It was during one of those rides that the couple first laid eyes on the Wild-life Research Institute. �e un-kempt, 10-acre property consisted of little more than a no-frills 1952 ranch-style house, a couple of bar-ren barns and a six-car garage that had been converted into a lecture hall. “But it looked like Narnia from the road,” recalls Bridges.

Later, sitting in their suburban backyard, ruminating over Jack’s injuries and all of the challenges before them, the idea for Capabil-ity Ranch finally took off. “Tony asked, ‘If the pin dropped on you today, would you be happy?’ �e answer was categorically ‘no.’”

Oxley’s second question probed even more: “If you could do any-thing, what would it be?” Bridges’ answer: “I would do something for our tribe.”

She decided it was time to heed the feeling she’d had all those years ago. “I made a plan to peel out of corporate America that spring,” she says. �e couple bought the Wildlife Research

Institute property, sinking their savings into refurbishing it into a retreat that would accommodate disabled youth, especially those suffering from brain disorders and traumas. Soon they learned there was a brain injury recovery center down the road. “What are the odds?” says Bridges. “If that wasn’t a sign, I don’t know what was.”

Today, Bridges plans to coor-dinate outings and activities with its residents, adding them to the growing list of friends, neighbors and volunteers who are helping the ranch succeed. “Neighbors drive by honking and say, ‘You guys are doing amazing things with this property!’ We get calls

The Wake-Up Call�en came the middle-of-the-night phone call every parent dreads. Jack, a sophomore in col-lege, had been assaulted outside a bar near campus and rushed to the hospital with a traumatic brain injury. “A lot of people were there that night, but the pin dropped on him,” says Bridges. She rushed to Maryland, sobbing into her

blanket for the entire flight, not knowing if Jack would make it through his first surgery. Upon arrival, she was told he had only a 10 percent chance of survival. Mi-raculously, he did make it through the surgery, and over the next few weeks, she spent every hour at his bedside. “I wanted to be there if he blinked or moved his finger,” she says, her voice quivering.

Jack stunned doctors when within weeks he made enough progress to be transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. Bridges was elated. She and Jack’s father, who lived in New York, traded off, spending one week with their son and one week at home, creating a

Food Historian Alice Randall: Helping Black Women Eat Better

“My goal is to be the last fat black woman in my family," declared author and food activist Alice Randall (middle) in a 2012 New York Times op-ed piece. Her daughter, Caroline Randall Williams (left), age 27, was delighted. “She had long wor-ried about my health and was thrilled at my desire to change the way I eat,” says Randall, 56. Williams showed her how it could be done with-out forgetting or blaming their family’s traditions, and the result is their new book, Soul Food Love: Healthy Recipes Inspired by One Hundred Years of Cooking in a Black Family (Clarkson Potter). The joint mother-daughter project explores the complicated relationship black women have with food. “We worked together to solve a problem,” says Randall. “Caroline is the present, I am the past , and, together, we have made a new future.”

Jessica Seinfeld: Helping Parents Break the Cycle of Poverty

As the daughter of a social worker, Jessica Seinfeld (left), 43, the wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, knows childhood poverty is no laughing matter. In 2001, she founded the nonprofit organization Baby Buggy to provide childcare gear, parenting

support and educational services to families in need with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty that so often follows from one gen-eration to the next. Baby Buggy's new Father-

hood Initiative was launched when she spotted the special needs of dads. "The men we serve are trying to lift themselves up and lift their families up," says Seinfeld, the mother of three. "They have a lot that they struggle with."

Gwen Samuel: Making It Safe for Kids to Walk to School

When Gwen Samuel, 48, a single mother of four, realized the kids who walked to school in her Connecticut neighborhood didn’t have a safe route that was free of traf-fic, snow and ice, she created the Meriden Kids Walk Safe Coalition. “School districts think of buses when they think of transportation, but lots of kids walk and ride their bikes to school,” says Samuel. “It’s important we make sure roads are clear and sidewalks are shoveled.” Today the Walk Safe initiative has created walkability check-lists and safe route listings as well as lobbied against budget cuts that threatened crossing guards' jobs. But that’s not all this die-hard defender of equal access to education has accomplished. As the founder and president of the Connecti-cut Parents Union, Samuel successfully introduced Con-necticut’s “parent trigger” law, which allows parents to make recommendations regarding administration changes in low-performing schools.

in the right place,’” Bridges recalls.“I told him it was because of him that I’d found the courage to open the ranch. � is was the gift in the tragedy.”

"Loveyabunches"Doctors were pleased enoughwith Jack’s progress for him to return to school last fall. Bridges stayed busy doing consulting work while preparing the ranch to open and fl ying out to see Jack when-ever she could.

Last November, Jack was set to give a speech at his fraternity’s annual Red Carnation Ball, which was raising funds for the hospital that had saved his life. Bridges and Oxley were also invited, and just before their fl ight took off , she texted Jack to see if he was up for a late-night bite. � ere was no reply. She sent another text that said, “loveyabunches,” a sweet, simple reminder she and Jack had fallen into the habit of writing, almost as if it was a hashtag. By the time the plane landed and she fi red up her phone again, there were several missed calls. When she fi nally reached his best friend, she learned Jack had laid down for a nap earlier that day and died in his sleep. His friends found him in his bed hours later.

Losing Jack just a couple of months before opening Capabil-ity Ranch made the realization of Bridges’ dream bittersweet. Today the barn used for line dancing may be a dance hall, but tomorrow it may morph into an art studio, or

perhaps a petting zoo. Whatever happens inside, it’s now known as the Jack Shack Activity Barn, in honor of the young man whose life inspired it. “We’re trying to create programs specifi cally for those aff ected by brain disorders,” says Bridges. � at includes quar-terly events for caregivers too. “Research shows the stress level of these caregivers is akin to soldiers returning from combat.”

Right now, there are enough funds to host activities two days a

week, but Bridges hopes to turn that into fi ve soon. “Eventually we want to do thera-peutic activities with animals, and perhaps introduce the kids to sustain-able farming,” she says, referring to the horses, rab-bits and hens that also call the ranch

home. “Overnight camping trips in the dry creek bed would be great too.”

For now she takes things one day at a time, a lesson she learned from watching Jack fi ght back from his injury. Days now begin with a full hour of refl ection on an old porch swing outside the ranch house, where she sits with her Lab, Custard, and a cup of coff ee. “You know those inspirational quotes about living in the moment that go around social media?” says Bridges. “I’m really doing that now for the fi rst time in my life and it’s because of Jack.”

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

The Hubble Space Telescope “pictures” are so beautiful. But if we could take a spaceship to these same places, what would they look like? —C.A., Newport, Mich.

We would be disappointed. The images were produced by combining sets of raw black-and-white data (not photos) that included much physical reality the human eye cannot see at all. For example, we can’t see X-rays or gamma rays passing through space, but in the images, they are depicted by glorious colors. Nor can we see various gases here on Earth, yet invisible gases in space are represented vividly. In sum, the Hubble images are a combination of great science and great art.

Good for you for reaching for the vitamin C-rich citrus and calcium-fortified cereals. You may even pop a fish oil supplement every day. But if you’re like the average wom-

an, especially those 50-plus, you still may be missing some crucial nutrients in your everyday diet: vitamins and minerals that off er protection from cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes, to name a few. And while a multivitamin is a good idea, it might not contain high enough amounts of these six nutrients. Here’s what you need to round out your diet—and how to get more of each one.

PotassiumWhy it matters Only 1 percent of women consume enough potassium, a mineral that helps cut your risk for heart disease and stroke by lowering blood pressure. In fact, one analysis of nearly 250,000 adults found that increasing potassium intake by just 1,600mg per day slashed stroke risk by 21 percent. � e good news? “Most fresh fruits and vegetables have 300mg to 400mg potassium per serving,” says Frances Largeman-Roth, RD, author of Eating in Color (Stewart, Tabori and Chang).How much you need 4,700mg daily Best food sources Swiss chard, lima beans, sweet potatoes, bananas and cantaloupe

Vitamin EWhy it matters Consider it brain food. New research suggests that vitamin E may protect against what are called white matter lesions—small clumps of dead cells—that are linked to heightened Alzheimer’s risk. � e vitamin is mostly found in foods high in fat, though, which means you could be missing out if you’ve reduced your intake of even healthy fats. To make room for more E-rich foods, focus on cutting out sources of empty calo-ries in your diet instead, such as added sugars often found in packaged foods, Largeman-Roth says.

How much you need 15mg dailyBest food sources Sunfl ower seeds, almond butter and hazelnuts

CholineWhy it matters An essential micronutrient, choline supports the liver’s natural detoxifi cation process (no juice cleanse necessary!). Some research also suggests that getting enough choline could reduce your risk for breast cancer. But unfortunately, most women over age 50 take in only half their daily quota. How much you need 425mg dailyBest food sources Eggs (particularly the yolks), salmon and Brussels sprouts

Vitamin B12Why it matters B12 keeps your central nervous system in working order, which is why too little can lead to numbness, weakness and anemia. But adults over 50, as well as those with digestive disorders such as celiac dis-ease, tend to have trouble absorbing the vitamin, Largeman-Roth says.

Because it’s found mostly in animal-based foods, vegetarians and vegans also could fall short.How much you need 2.4mcg dailyBest food sources Yogurt, shrimp and chicken or, for vegan options, fortifi ed breakfast cereals and nondairy milks

MagnesiumWhy it matters “More than 300 of the body’s biochemical reactions require magnesium,” says Tina Ruggiero, RD, author of � e Truly Healthy Family Cookbook (Page Street Publishing). For instance, magnesium helps reduce your chances of hip fracture, keeps your immune system in fi ghting form and plays a role in staving off diseases such as diabetes and metabolic syn-drome. Still, research suggests that nearly half of all adults may be defi -cient—particularly those who eat a gluten-free diet, as whole grains are a signifi cant magnesium source. How much you need 320mg dailyBest food sources Spinach, cashews, avocado, brown rice and black beans

Vitamin DWhy it matters Vitamin D works with calcium to keep your bones strong and reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis. � ere’s some evidence that it may help prevent depression and cognitive decline, particularly in

older adults. But because it’s only found in a few foods, most of us don’t get nearly as much as we should, says Ruggiero. How much you need 600IU dailyBest food sources Salmon, eggs, fortifi ed milk (dairy and nondairy), fortifi ed yogurt and fortifi ed orange juice

As we age, our bodies are less effi cient at processing protein’s amino acids, so we may need more protein

to promote healthy muscles, Frances Largeman-Roth, RD, says. A 150-pound woman should get around 68g per day

from a mix of lean animal sources, such as chicken or turkey (four ounces has 35g), and plant sources, such as beans (most varieties are 15g per cup).

As we age, our bodies are less effi cient at processing protein’s amino acids, so we may need more protein

to promote healthy muscles, Frances Largeman-Roth, RD, says. A 150-pound woman should get around 68g per day

from a mix of lean animal sources, such as chicken or turkey (four ounces has 35g), and plant sources, such as beans (most varieties are 15g per cup).
