EMAIL YOUR QUESTIONS FOR WALTER SCOTT TO [email protected]

Walter Scott AsksAbigail

SPENCER

She made history as the only female per-former to win both an Oscar (The Blind Side)and a Razzie Award,for Worst Actress (All About Steve), in the

same year.

J.Lo’s Second ChanceJennifer Lopez stars in Second Act (in theatersDec. 21) as Maya, a woman passed over for a promotion and frustrated that street smarts don’t equal book smarts. Can she reinvent herself in her 40s? With a little help from her best friend’s social-network-savvy son, Maya gets a foot in the door of Madison Avenue and a chance to prove that it’s never too late. “You can always make a change,” says Lopez, 49. “That message has so much relevance foreverybody, but especially for women.”

How does she feel about a new season of Suits without Meghan Markle? Go to Parade.com/spencer to find out.

The former Mad Men and Suits star, 37, returns as professor Lucy Preston when the team of TV’s Timeless goes for one more time-traveling spin. In a two-hour show-finale movie on NBC (Dec. 20), Preston tries to stop the historical meddling of the Rittenhouse organiza-tion one last time.Tell us about the movie. We meet people who don’t mean anything to history, and Lucy wants to save them. She started caring only about rescuing historical figures and protecting historical accuracy, and now she’s like, “What’s the point of saving history if we don’t save the people in it?” During the two hours we go to two different time periods to stop Rittenhouse.Will there be a real resolution? I think, aswith all good endings, it ends. But it doesn’t “end,” because we want the story to live with the audience as they think about the future. It achieves both a resolution and leaves the door open.What is Reprisal, the new Hulu pilot you just filmed? It’s about a survivor who seeksrevenge on men who attacked her. It reflects the collective consciousness on the planet right now: women rising up and being able to go back and stand up to their attackers. But it’s done in a really cool, dystopian way. Are you related to the British Spencers, like Princess Diana? That’s so funny. My grand-mother swears [we are], but I’ve never done any digging. I did meet a lot of Spencers [in England] and I am a Spencer, so who knows?

Sandra Bullock, 54, follows up the hit heist film Ocean’s 8 with the dystopian Netflix thriller Bird Box (Dec. 21). She plays Malorie, a mother of two fleeing a mysterious deadly force. Here are five facts about the Oscar winner.

Her mother, Helga (1942–2000), born in Nuremberg, Germany, was an opera singer.

High heels don’t faze her. “I think it’s my mother’s gene because she did everything in high heels.”

Bullock’s role in the hit roman-tic comedy While You Were Sleeping (1995) was originally meant for Demi Moore.

The small scar above her left eye is the result of a childhood fall into a lake, where she cut her head on a rock.

Jason Momoa’s All Wet After playing the superhero Aquaman in Bat-man v Superman: Dawn of Justice and reprising the role in Justice League, Momoa, 39, gets to star in his own underwater adventure, Aquaman (in theaters Dec. 21). The film reveals the origin story of Arthur Curry (Momoa), who discovers he’s actually the king of Atlantis. “It’s like Star Wars underwater,” says Momoa, who leads a cast that includes Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wil-son, Dolph Lundgren and Nicole Kidman.

CELEBRITY KITCHEN

This crowd-pleasing breakfast casserole, from the new cookbook Pull Up a Chair by actress

Ti� ani Thiessen (host of Cooking Channel's Dinner at Ti� ani’s), is tailor-made for busy holiday mornings. Assemble it the night before, and then slide it into the oven to bake on Christmas or New Year’s Day.

EGG AND SAUSAGE CASSEROLEPreheat oven to 400°F. Oil a 3-quart baking dish.

Combine 1½ cups (1-inch) cubed country bread and 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil on a baking sheet. Toss to combine, spreading in a single layer. Bake 10 minutes or until toasted and golden brown; set aside.

In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high. Add ½ lb fresh sweet Italian sausage (casings removed) and 1 medium yellow onion, fi nely chopped. Cook 8–10 minutes or until sausage is cooked through and onion is translucent, using a wooden spoon to break up sausage into small pieces. Stir in 10 oz fresh spinach; cook 2–3 minutes or until wilted. Add ½ cup chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes; cook 2 minutes. Season with kosher salt and black pepper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat 10 large eggs, ½ cup whole milk, ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper until frothy. Spread toasted bread cubes in a single layer in bottom of prepared baking dish. Top with sausage mixture. Pour egg mixture over top so it covers entire casserole. Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight. When ready to serve, preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle casserole with ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour or until set. Cool 10–15 minutes before serving. Serves 4–6.

Entertaining strategy: “I'm a prepper. I love lists. It really does make me less stressed.”Childhood habit still going strong: “I grew up eating family dinner every night,” says Thiessen. Now she and her husband, actor Brady Smith, and their daughter, Harper, 8, and son, Holt, 3, gather around the table for dinner at least fi ve nights a week.Go-to comfort foods: “A big glass of wine and a charcuterie board,”she admits. Or her mother’s bean and ham hock stew (get the recipe at Parade.com/stew). “It makes me feel like I’m getting a big hug from my mom.” Always in her pantry or fridge: sun-dried tomatoes (“I put them in my stuffi ng too”), ghee (Indian-style clarifi ed butter) and “fresh eggs, because we have seven chickens.”Must-have kitchen tools: sharp knives. “I go to so many of my friends’ kitchens and they have crappy, dull knives,” says Thiessen. “I think, no wonder you don’t like to cook!” Her favorite blades are the German brand Messermeister (available at Williams Sonoma).Current kitchen goal: cutting back on food waste. “I’m really trying to make sure I only buy and make what we’re really going to use,” says Thiessen. Involving her kids in weekly meal-planning also helps cut down on the chorus of “I don't want this” later in the week.Food trend she’s over: “Expensive avocado toast!”

It was Christmas in the ’70s and young Steve Carell was at the mall in his hometown of Acton, Mass. “I remember walking around looking for a present, and I noticed that everyone had a very tense, pained, harried expression on their face,” he says.

Surprised that people weren’t more joyful during the holidays, “I decided I was going to smile at everybody, just so I wouldn’t be an-other face reflecting back all the angst,” says Carell, 56. And so he did. “People probably thought I was just this weird kid.” He laughs, shak-ing his head. “But I remembered thinking, Well, it might not help, but maybe somebody will get a smile out of it.”

Decades later, the Hollywood pro with nearly 75 acting credits, including his starring role in The Office, is still getting laughs. And his most recent films—from Beautiful Boy to Vice and Welcome to Mar-wen—reflect his continuing desire to do work that matters.

Today, perched on the edge of a couch in Hollywood, he’s in a full beard and sharply dressed in black pants, a shirt and tie under a sweater and a dark blazer. He looks like he could easily be a tweedy New England college professor. And based on the stories he tells about his love of history and his desire for old-fashioned connections, it’s almost a surprise he didn’t end up doing just that.

History BuffCarell is the youngest of four brothers born to mom Harriet, a psychi-atric nurse (she passed away in 2016), and father Edwin, now 93, who designed heat exchangers and was a member of the 100th Infantry during World War II. “We were not a wealthy family, and both my parents worked; my mom worked nights” to help support the boys and their education, he says. “It was all about us, and that resonated with me.”

How the funnyman broke into serious roles—and decided to do good in the world. (Oh, and he still wants to make you laugh!)

STEVE CARELL

Carell loved learning about history in school, and he and one brother joined the fife and drum corps of the Acton Minuteman Group, which dressed up in colonial regalia and marched in local parades, re-creating part of New Eng-land’s rich colonial legacy. (He can still play a tune on the fife today.) Those early years, he also picked up his older brothers’ interests in comedy of the ’70s, soaking up the humor of acts like the Firesign Theatre (a radio comedy group), George Carlin and Steve Martin. “That, I think, informed a lot of what I started to like,” says Carell, who says

his parents supported all of his interests. “They were more than open-minded about what path I was gonna choose.”

His chosen path took him to Denison University in Gran-ville, Ohio, where he majored in history and theater. After graduating in 1984, he moved to Chicago to pursue acting profes-sionally, and joined the Second City comedy troupe. “Comedy wasn’t even a part of the master plan,” Carell says of the move. And neither were more “serious” roles, specifically. “I just wanted to work. And it just so happened that most of the work that I got was comedic.”

He’s cracked us up and creeped us out. Here are some of Steve Carell’s most memorable movie roles over the years.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) In this spoof of broadcast newscasters, Carell played weatherman Brick Tamland.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) He co-wrote and starred in this hit as a nebbish electronics salesman whose friends conspire to help him lose his virginity.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) The Oscar- winning comedy features Carell as a gay, depressed literary scholar who joins his extended family racing to get to a beauty

pageant.

Evan Almighty (2007) A congress-man (Carell) is morphed into a modern-day Noah when he prays to God for help.

Get Smart (2008) In this big-screen spin on the 1960s TV show, Carell is secret agent Maxwell Smart and

Anne Hathaway Agent 99.

Date Night (2010) A case of mistaken identity turns a romantic evening upside down for a married couple (Carell and Tina Fey).

Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) The life of a middle-aged man (Carell) changes dra-matically when his wife leaves him.

The Way Way Back (2013) Carell gets serious as the unlikeable boyfriend of the mother (Toni Collette) of a young man (Liam James) on a summer vacation.

Foxcatcher (2014) There wasn’t a chuckle anywhere in this true-crime drama, head-lined by Carell’s unsettling portrayal of wrestling bene-factor John du Pont.

Last Flag Flying (2017) A powerful trio of acting

performances (Carell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne) anchored this dark-humored drama about U.S. Marine veterans reuniting to bury one of their own—and one of their own sons.

—Neil Pond

After early TV stints on The Dana Carvey Show and The Daily Show, he found his way onto the big screen in comedies including Bruce Al-mighty and Anchorman before hitting his breakout year of 2005—when he both co-wrote and starred in the comedy The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and the year he debuted as lovably beleaguered small-business manager Michael Scott in The Office, starring in seven of the show’s nine seasons, winning a Golden Globe and six Emmy nominations for the role.

His hit film résumé grew for years as he starred in family

films and comedies including Despicable Me, Little Miss Sunshine, Crazy Stupid Love and The Way Way Back. Then, “when I got the opportunity to do some more dramatic stuff,” he says, “I took it.”

He earned an Academy Award nomina-tion for his role in sports true-crime drama Foxcatcher, played a key part in the Oscar-winning The Big Short and co-starred in Last Flag Flying (2017) and Beautiful Boy, in which he played a father desperately trying to help his meth-addicted son (Timothée Chalamet). This month, he plays two more dramatic roles, each of them resonating with his respect for history, retelling two different true stories.

Real Meets ReelFor the more famous of his two real-life characters in his latest films, he stars in Vice as Donald Rumsfeld (Dec. 25), who served as secretary of defense under President George W. Bush (Sam Rockwell) and Vice President Dick Cheney (Christian Bale).

“It’s tricky to approach a real-life charac-ter,” he admits, especially in these politically edgy times. “It’s your best estimation as to who someone might be—what his flaws might be, what his strengths might be. You have to find some element of that person that you empathize with or find intrinsically human.”

In Welcome to Marwen (Dec. 21), Carell plays Mark Hogancamp, a U.S. Navy veteran and illustrator who was attacked outside a bar in upstate New York in 2000, causing a major brain injury that erased his memory. As a form of therapy, he built an amazing scale-model fantasy-world replica of a World War II Belgian town in his back-yard, populated it with dolls and photographed tableaus of scenes.

It was “a way to cope with the trauma that he had suffered,” says Carell, “because he can put himself into this town through an alter ego”—an American fighter pilot facing the Nazis. As Ho-gancamp explained in the 2010 documentary that inspired the new film, “Everybody wishes they could have a double that could do the things they could never do.”

After consulting with Hogancamp, who lives in Kings-ton, N.Y., for the role, Carell now considers him a friend. “He’s such a warm guy,” says Carell. “There’s no cynicism, which in today’s world is rare.”

Inside JokesCarell lives in Los Angeles with his wife of 23 years, Nancy, 52, and their two kids, Elisabeth, 17, and John, 14. The couple met when she was bartending across the street from Second City’s theater in Chicago and then joined the company, and they hit it off immediately.

“We make each other laugh; we always have,” he says. “Whereas with my brothers and my parents, our senses of humor were all very different. But Nancy and I share a sense of humor. We must have a thousand inside jokes, between the two of us, and it never gets old.” Also an actress (she spent a year as a cast member on Saturday Night Live), writer and producer, Nancy appeared with Carell in several episodes of The Office, and she and Steve are co-creators of the TV-cop comedy-spoof series Angie Tribeca, starring Rashida Jones.

He says his favorite thing to do now is hang out at home with his family to talk, watch a movie or play board games. “From the outside, it would sound like [we’re] the most boring four people ever,” he says, laughing, “lighting a fire and just the four of us playing Monopoly until two in the morning. It sounds so simple—and kinda hokey—but boy, I love stuff like that.”

The Carells also go back to the East Coast often to visit family—and to pop by the general store they bought in 2009 in Marshfield, Mass., thanks, once again, to his love of history. “I knew it would never be a big moneymaking enterprise,” he says of the Marshfield Hills General Store. Instead, he bought it to preserve the building itself, which is nearly 170 years old. “They used to sew Union army uniforms in the attic,” he says. He also wanted to make it a place where neighbors can gather and, “you know, get an ice cream and sit out on the front porch.”

It reminded him so much of a general store he visited growing up, he felt an instant pull to the place. “I remember how magical it was as a little kid, having a place to go and buy some penny candy, hang out with your friends, ride your bike over. And that place doesn’t ex-ist anymore—kids don’t have those places to go,” he says.

Giving today’s kids the oppor-tunity for wholesome interactions like that has become important to him, as he tries to raise his own teenagers to be kind and generous human beings. “I think that’s what I try to impress upon them,” says Carell, “to be decent and add something of value to the world.”

Beyond that, he’s hesitant to pin down exactly what else he wants to bring. “I’m just an ac-tor, you know?” he says, throw-ing his hands up and laughing. “I’m not saving the world.” But then he cites his recent roles in Beautiful Boy, Marwen and Vice. “� ere are messages in all of those about hope and redemp-tion and kindness, and those are things that are important to me.”

It wasn’t all that long ago, after all, when he was a lad in a mall in Massachusetts, smiling so other people would, maybe, smile too.

reboot of The Offi ce.

“...lighting a fi re and just the four of us playing Monopoly until two in the morn-ing. It sounds so simple—and kinda hokey—but boy, I love stuff like that.”

You need a new watch…the one you are wearing was made when Nixon was in office, but

extravagantly-priced watches that add zeros just because of a high falootin’ name are an insult to your logic. Why shell out big money so some foreign company can sponsor another yacht race? It’s time to put an end to such madness. It’s absolutely possible to have the highest quality, precision classic timepiece without the high and mighty price tag. Case in point: The Stauer Urban Blue.

Packed with high-end watch performance and style, minus the high-end price tag. It’s everything a high-end watch should be: Sturdy stainless steel and genuine leather construction. Precision timing that’s accurate to four seconds a day––that’s more precise than a 27-jewel automatic watch priced at over $6,000. And, good looking–– with simple, clean lines and a striking metallic blue face.

“Blue watches are one of the growing style trends seen in the watch world in the past few years” WatchTime®

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

Why do so many columnists and regular writers for print media use such old photos of them-selves? I once saw a newspaper columnist who was so different from his published photo that if he had not been introduced by name, he would have been impossible to recognize.

—William McIntire, Pinellas Park, Fla.

Well, I suppose vanity could be one factor. But a more impor-tant factor is familiarity. Editors know that readers like to open a newspaper or magazine and see a familiar face. As photographers have such different styles, updat-ing photos yearly or so would cause an uncomfortable sense of discontinuity. And before you ask, readers, my own column photo was taken two years ago.
