KYRA SEDGWICKThe Emmy Award–winning star, 51, of TV’s The Closer

moves to the movie screen in the coming-of-age comedy The Edge of Seventeen,

opening Nov. 18. She plays the widowed mom of a teenage daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). In real life, she and actor

Kevin Bacon recently celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary and have

two children, both in their 20s.

How accurately does The Edge of

Seventeen reflect what it’s like to raise—or be—a teenager? I think it’s been a really long time since

we’ve really seen the truth on film about what it’s like to be a teenager. It’s an excruciating, painful time that is often treated two-dimensionally. I think the best comedy is painful and this is a very funny, painful movie

about what it’s like to be struggling in the world, trying to find a place and feeling like you don’t belong.

With The Closer behind you, can you talk about its legacy and your character,

Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson? It makes me so happy that The Closer was such a success, because I loved Brenda. She was vocal, compli-cated, difficult and flawed, and a per-son who was trying to juggle work and a personal life. I gave my heart and soul to it and I think that people that love it see themselves in her.

What are you passionate about besides acting and directing? The environment and the need to protect our natural resources. We have sovereignty over the earth and that makes us responsible. With great power comes great responsibility and we’re not doing enough to protect our natural resources.

How is Sandra Lee doing after her cancer diagnosis? —Trudie M., Pawtucket, R.I.

A: The internationally acclaimed food and lifestyle expert is cancer-free, back to work and planning new projects. The most recent, UNICHEF, airing Nov. 16 on Discovery Family, features her sharing personal stories, especially about her philanthropic work as the nutrition ambassador for UNICEF, including

her most recent mission to Haiti. “There’s a huge nutritional issue—a lot of malnourished women and children who really need the understanding of how to take what they have and cook with it and make some-

thing meaningful and healthy out of it,” says Lee, 50. Visit Parade.com/lee to learn how she managed her

cancer diagnosis and recovery.

I just discovered The Art of More, starring Dennis Quaid. Does he know anything about art in real life?

—Lauren B., New Haven, Conn.

A: Quaid, 62, plays billionaire Samuel Brukner on the Crackle series, set in the cutthroat world of auction houses filled with smugglers, powermongers and collectors. He does own a few pieces of art, but nothing fancy. “I had no formal art train-ing, but I’ve loved it all my life,” he says. “It points at some deeper truth; it doesn’t actually say it with words.” The second season begins streaming on Nov. 16.

WALTER SCOTT ASKS ...

Jake Gyllenhaal, 35, who

got rave reviews for his

macho makeover as a

fiercely paternal boxer in

last summer’s Southpaw,

is listed in the Swedish

almanac of nobility.

2. As a teen, his summer

jobs included lifeguard and

restaurant busboy.

3. His godfather was

actor Paul Newman.

4. He’s the “we” in

Taylor Swift’s

breakup song “We

Are Never Ever

Getting Back Together.”

1. E. coli You may knowthe common bacteria as a cause of food-borne illness, but it also can cause painful urinary tract infections (UTIs) if it travels from the bowel and sets up camp. Travis L. Bullock, M.D., board certifiedin urology and female

pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, lists UTIs as one of the primary reasons patients come to his practice. If you’re prone to them, ask your doctor about prevention strategies.

2. Obesity Not only doesextra weight put stress

on bones, joints and the heart, it also affects the bladder. Obesity has been linked to stress incontinence—leaking brought on by cough-ing or laughing. “If a woman with stress incontinence loses ap-proximately 8 percent of her body weight her symptoms can improve by as much as 50 per-cent,” says Kaufman.

3. Heart disease It’s theleading cause of deathfor men and women, andbladder issues are actuallyone of the lesser-knownsigns. How are heartdisease and the bladderlinked? “Blood vessels leading to the bladderand pelvic floor are sub-

ject to the same stresses as the cardiac vessels,” says Kaufman.

4. Neurological diseases Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) may experience a range of urinary symptoms, according to the National Association for Conti-nence (NAFC).

With Parkinson’s disease, frequent bladder contractions may leave sufferers with an in-creased and urgent need to urinate. The NAFC reports that nighttime urination has become the most common non-motor symptom for Parkinson’s patients.

5. Medications Somesedatives, antipsychot-ics, antidepressants, narcotics—and a host of other prescription medications—can af-fect bladder function. High-blood-pressure medications are a com-mon culprit, Kaufman says. Their job is to help flush excess fluid and salt from the body, which increases urine output. Many over-the-counter drugs also affect the bladder, including ibuprofen and naproxen.

6. Pelvic floor injuryThe arrangement of muscles, ligaments, connective tissues and nerves responsible for supporting the pelvic organs can be injured

in a variety of ways, including hysterec-tomy, prostate surgery, radiation, childbirth complications and even extreme exercise. Such injuries can cause stress incontinence or an overactive bladder and may require physical therapy to resolve.

7. Aging “As a man’sprostate gets larger hecan’t empty his bladderas well,” says Bullock, “and then he’s going togo more often.”

Women, too, may have more bladder is-sues as they age. “After menopause, they’re at much higher risk [for urinary leakage],” says Kaufman. “Once you have hormone loss during aging, [tissues in the pelvic floor and bladder] don’t rebuild as readily as they used to, so it predisposes to urinary incontinence.”

While aging can set in motion changes in the body that af-fect the bladder, both Kaufman and Bullock are quick to point out that incontinence is not something you should simply accept as part of getting older. “It’s a very treatable problem,” says Bullock. “It’s not something people have to live with.”

The American

Urological Association

estimates that 33 million

men and women suffer

from overactive bladders.

Amortifying leak during yoga class. A “gotta go” feeling that won’t stop. Sleepless nights from too many bathroom visits. These are just a few of the bladder problems many Americans struggle with—often silently.

“These are very personal and oftentimes embarrassing situations that patients are reluctant to bring up to their physicians,” says Melissa Kaufman, M.D., Ph.D., and associate professor of urologic surgery at Vanderbilt Univer-sity School of Medicine. “But there are many treatments that can give youback your quality of life.”

The causes of bladder problems can be as varied as the symptoms. Here are seven that might surprise you.

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

I usually feel tired in the middle of the afternoon, and so do most people I know. Why does this happen?

—Joshua B., Pemberton Heights, Texas

This common sleepiness is generated by our brain's inborn biological clocks, which control our circadian (daily) rhythms. These rhythms are found in most living things. Although they are innate, they also respond to en-vironmental stimuli, mainly light and darkness. At night, when less light is present, your brain produces more melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy. But if that's the case, why do we get sleepy in the middle of the day? (This often occurs about 12 hours from the middle of one's main sleep period. So if you sleep from about 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., you may get drowsy around 2 p.m.) Our body temperature dips at both times, also promoting drowsiness, but the bigger ques-tion remains why this happens.

It's possible, as some experts suggest, that our bodies did not evolve to remain awake for 16 straight hours (and then sleep for eight). Hence the afternoon siestas or relaxation breaks that were so popular—but are slowly disappearing—in other parts of the world. Our busy modern lives, aided by caffeine, may be render-ing them obsolete, although not undesirable: Many studies have shown the physical, psychological and cognitive benefits of short (30 to 90 minutes) afternoon naps.

Send questions to marilyn @ parade.com

This question has me stumped. “I am a man. If Mark’s son is my son’s father, what relation am I to Mark?” Can you help?

—Lindsey Orchard, Kenner, La.What do you think, readers? The an-swer appears at the end of the column.

When I see myself in the mirror at home, my wrinkles appear neg-ligible, and I look fine. But when I accidentally see myself somewhere out of the house, I look so old! I’m 76, but my 55-year-old daughter says the same thing happens to her. What is that about?

—Julie Watson, Tampa, Fla.Ask any model, actor or photogra-pher: It’s all about the lighting. The amount and type of light, and espe-cially the angle at which it reaches your face, makes a huge difference.

I’m glad your home mirror is located where it doesn’t exaggerate your facial lines. Overhead sun and many other lighting situations can wreak havoc with the way we see ourselves—literally!

If identical twins marry identical twins and each couple has children, are the children genetic cousins? Or siblings?

—David Bunch, West Seneca, N.Y.They are genetic siblings. If their DNA were examined, you couldn’t even tell which child was born to which set of parents. Not that any of the kids would look alike. They would look just as different from each other as any other siblings—different from the brothers and sisters in their own fam-ily and from the “brothers and sisters” in their aunt’s and uncle’s families.

ANSWER: We know that “Mark’s son is my son’s father.” With only that informa-tion, the speaker could be either female or male. (With a female speaker, “my son’s father” refers to her husband. With a male speaker, “my son’s father” refers to himself.) But we know the speaker is male. (“I am a man.”) So “my son’s father” is the speaker. Therefore, Mark’s son, who “is my son’s father,” is the speaker. Which means the speaker is Mark’s son.

suzanne loving’s coconut custard pieChef Loving’s Coconut Custard Pie (recipe on page 13) is a favorite at Nashville’s Loving Pie Company, where fans include Nashvillecreator Callie Khouri and her husband, musician-producer T Bone Burnett. It’s a delicious homage to her past. “My love for coconut was cultivated by my grandmothers,” says Loving. One made “an absolutely stunning” coconut cake, while the other was famous for her coconut meringue pie. Loving’s creation com-bines elements of both. “It’s light, creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness.”

She always relied on her taste buds to tell her if she had enough of this or that.” When her mother became terminally ill with cancer, “she told me, once I had perfected measuring through taste, I’d never forget the amount needed,” says Ballard. “And now my sweet potato pie is perfect.” Get the recipe on page 18.

ryan scheide’s cranberry walnut pieFresh cranberries may be an essential anchor on most Thanksgiving tables, but for Ryan Scheide, owner of the restaurant and catering company Great Expectations, they are a year-round favorite. “We live in cranberry country,” says Scheide of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., where he and his wife, Amy, have served customers for 13

years. “This tart is on our menu all year. It’s local and sustainable, so people always order it.” You can find the recipe on page 13.

Its emphasis on unprocessed foods (like the meat, fish, veggies and fruit eaten by our ancestors) has helped her manage symptoms of ulcerative colitis, she says. This maple pumpkin pie with a gluten-free crust, from Walker’s new cookbook, Celebrations, lets her have her dessert and eat it too. Go to Parade.com/piefor the recipe.

kristy turner’s vegan peanut butter pieIf your Thanksgiving table includes a vegan guest or two, you’re not alone. Vegans now make up an estimated 6 percent of Americans. Turner, blogger at Keepin’ It Kind, is one of them. This recipe from her new cookbook, But My Fam-ily Would Never Eat Vegan!, is based on her grandmother’s peanut butter pie, which “only made appearances on holidays and special occasions.” Here, she re-creates it with plant-based ingredients. “It’s rich and decadent and every bit as good as I remem-ber Grandma’s pie being,” she says.

Visit Parade.com/bennett to read an excerpt from Just Getting Started and to see 10 of his favorite paintings.

Sunday With...

TONY BENNETT The 90-year-old singer-painter is just getting started.

By Lambeth Hochwald

He went from a singing waiter from Queens to one of the most beloved crooners of all time. This year Tony Bennett celebrates his 90th birthday with a new book, Just Getting

Started (available Nov. 15), and a two-hour, star-studded NBC TV special, Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet to Come,airing in December, along with a companion album.

What are Sundays like for you? Relaxed. Wherever I am, I always look for a restaurant that serves a good dish of lin-guine with marinara sauce.

What were Sundays like for you growing up? It was a day to spend with relatives. My mother, Anna, worked very hard raising three children after my father died when I was 10 years old. My family supported me.

How often do you draw and paint? Every day. The minute I’m done with breakfast, I start painting. I love sketching in Central Park because it helps me get in touch with nature. You realize when you’re outside how beautiful the four seasons are and that the real artist is nature itself.

Your new book, Just Getting Started, is all about people who have touched your life. Whom did you most love writing

about? My wife, Susan. She’s brilliant. When we watch Jeop-ardy! she knows all the answers.

Who was one of your most im-portant early influences? Jimmy Durante. I was 15 years old and a young girl at school asked if I wanted to go to a nightclub. We saw him perform and I was so impressed. I told my mother the next morning that I was going into show business.

Your fans range from tweens to older people. How did that happen? When I started out, I played to every generation. When I connected and per-formed with Lady Gaga two years ago, I got her young fans and she got my older fans. That was everybody!

What are your thoughts on turning 90? I’m happy to be alive. I think the greatest gift you could have is to witness your life on earth.

Uneeda Tressa: Get Up and MoveIn 2010, a diabetes diagnosis was a wake-up call for the Brook Park, Ohio, resident, who’d battled weight prob-lems most of her life. At a routine checkup, her A1C— a measure of glucose over the previous three months—was a sky-high 9.5 (normal is under 5.7). She started seeing a dia-betes specialist at Cleveland Clinic, and in 2013 she had bariatric surgery, an opera-tion that alters the stomach to induce weight loss. “I was petrified,” she says, “but it was the best thing I ever did.”

Now Tressa, 54, has swapped her 2X clothes for size 4. Her diet has changed dramatically, favoring small portions of chicken, veg-etables and brown rice. When she treats herself, she doesn’t overdo it—thanks to the sur-gery, overeating can make her sick. She also walks, logging 10,000 to 15,000 steps a day. Her diabetes is now under control without medication: Her A1C has plummeted to

5.7, her cholesterol and blood pressure are normal and the pins and needles she used to feel in her legs are gone.

Her Hard-Earned Advice: “Exercise is key to losing the weight, and you have to be motivated.”

Jeffrey Gill: Make No More ExcusesAt 424 pounds, Gill, 35, of Cleveland, knows he has his work cut out for him. At a recent physical, he was told he’d need to take insulin to help control his Type 2 diabetes if he didn’t make major changes soon. “I am going to take it one day at a time, one meal at a time,” he says.

Gill, who owns a courier service, is often on the road at night, when fast food seems like the only option, so burgers and sodas used to be a staple. Now he grabs salads more often than not and aims to walk 30 to 60 minutes a day. “My short-term goal is to get out of the 400s,” he says. From there, he hopes to whittle his weight down

to 275 and eventually get off the two diabetes medications he takes, as well as his blood pressure medication. “I have the knowledge to do it,” he says. “I have gotten the coun-seling. I just have to do it.”

His Hard-Earned Advice:“There is always going to be an excuse. You just have to get it done.”

Rafael Hernandez-Brito: Be Prepared for TemptationHernandez-Brito’s job as the voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers on radio’s La Mega 87.7 FM is exciting, but it comes with a challenge: “I travel with the team,” he says—up to seven months on the road—and the team plane is “loaded with food.” While the basketball players burn calories during the game, Hernandez-Brito, 49, does not.

In January 2016, he learned he was prediabetic—

a diagnosis that means blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as Type 2 diabetes. Heeding the warning, he opted to follow a medically supervised meal-replacement plan—a protein shake and fruit for breakfast and lunch, a healthy snack and a dinner of lean protein, such as chicken, and non-starchy veggies—for more than four months before re-introducing healthy breakfast foods and a salad for lunch. He hits the spin bike for 45 to 60 minutes every morning before work. In a little over a month, he lost 26 pounds and is now less than 10 pounds from his goal.

“People tell me I look great, and I feel a thousand times better,” he says. “My joints no longer hurt.”

His Hard-Earned Advice:“Temptation is always there,” he admits of the team plane rides. “I try to come prepared with a protein shake or nuts.”
