The Oscar-winning actor, 78, goes theatrical inThe Dresser, a Starz original movie for televi-sion premiering May 30 that was adapted from a Broadway play by Ronald Harwood. Hopkins plays the lead actor in a touring troupe of stage performers, paired for the first time with Sir Ian McKellen, 76, as his longtime personal assistant.What are the themes of The Dresser? I think it’s about lone-liness, disappointment, rejection and everything that per-tains to the acting profession. Some [actors] are lucky and some are not. It’s in every life, not just in the acting business.

What was it like to work with McKellen for the first time? I had met him a couple of times many years ago, but we never worked together. He’s very funny. We spent a lot of time laughing and telling stories about the past.

Your paintings have had exhibitions, but you’ve modestly said, “I just paint.” I don’t have any training, but my wife encouraged me, so I paint. Because I’m free of academic background, I’m free to do what I like. The same with mu-sic: I play classical music, but I do it for pleasure.

Do you still enjoy cross-country driving trips? I used to drive across the country if I was going on location to work somewhere. I’d get in the car and go. I drove from Los Ange-les to Florida to do a film some years ago. I love driving but I don’t do it so much now. I just went up north to Big Sur.

Do you ever think about retiring? No! Once you retire, it’s over. My agent calls me: “Would you like to do this? Would you like to that?” I say, “Yeah, OK.” I’m just happy to be work-ing, and I enjoy it. It keeps my brain active, and I enjoy the life.

SIR ANTHONY HOPKINS

There will beBLOODSissy Spacek, 66, is back for season two of the

series Bloodline, avail-able May 27, as Sally, the matriarch of the troubled Rayburn family, which is plunged into paranoia as they try to cover up a murder. Here

1. Her real name is Mary Elizabeth—Sissy is the nickname bestowed by her two older brothers.

2. She lived with her cousin, actor Rip Torn, when she

pursue a singing, acting and modeling career.

3. In 1969, she recorded a song about John Lennon,

This Time,” under the name Rainbo.

4. She was 26 when she was cast as a young teen in Carriein 1976.

5. She did her own Coal

How many jobs does Aisha Tyler have? She seems to be everywhere. —Anais C., Philadelphia, Pa.

A: Tyler, 45, is a self-diagnosed “clinical workaholic” who co-hosts CBS’ The Talk, is the voice of Lana Kane on FX’s animated

series Archer, has a recurring role on

CBS’ Criminal Minds and will be returning as host of the CW’s Whose Line Is It Anyway?, returning for its fourth season on May 23. “I’m really only happy when I’m punishingly busy and saying yes to everything,” she says.

I am excited to see Olivia Munn as Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse. Will she be doing her own stunts and sword fighting?

—Ethan W., Oklahoma City, Okla.A: The role of Psylocke is a juicy one in X-Men:

Apocalypse, opening May 27, and Munn, 35, worked hard to make her character believable. So, yes, she will be swinging

her own swords and doing many of her own stunts—

which required six hours of training a day split between

taekwondo, sword fighting and wirework. “The

more believable it is, the better it

is for the audi-ence,” says the actress, who is

dating Green Bay Packers quarterback

Aaron Rodgers.

THE TRUTHABOUT AGING

Actress Sophia Loren, 81, once said, “There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents,

the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”

The 3,000-plus respondents to our Parade/Cleveland Clinic Survey on aging seem to agree. Only 38 percent would turn back the clock to age 25 if they could, and 82 percent believe they will be healthier and live longer than their parents. Many are exercising and playing brain games to “defeat age”—and you may be surprised to see what they consider to be the new “old.”

Carrie Underwood, Idolalumni have achieved the most fame of any of today’s talent show contestants—50 percent of the top 10 went on to suc-cessful careers in music, TV and �lm, Borchetta adds— selling tens of millions of albums, winning Golden Globes and Oscars ( Jennifer Hudson) and appearing on Broadway (Fantasia Barrino, Diana DeGarmo, Clay Aiken).

Myriad other acts, some also vocalists but many not, have seen similar success via

�e Sing-O�, �e Voice, �e X Factor and America’s Got Talent. Comedians, in par-ticular, don’t have as broad an outlet as radio for their acts to be heard, so the curb appeal of a show like Last Comic Standing often boils down to the potential of being seen on national TV.

“It’s always exhilarating performing to a crowded room—now multiply that room by millions,” says come-dian Ron Babcock, a season seven contestant on Last Comic

Talent competi-tions—full of feats of prowess, wit and skill (and

failure)—have been around for centuries. But it took modern technology to launch them from the stage to the airwaves—and we have been glued to our sets ever since. It started with �e Original Amateur Hour—a radio program before making its TV debut in 1948—which tapped into America’s hunger, optimism and celebratory spirit after World War II. As TV viewers voted by phone and mail, musical performers advanced each week toward an annual championship and a $2,000 grand prize.

“People in the early days of television took their cue from radio and vaudeville, and Amateur Hour was the perfect morphing of both,” says Michael Schneider, executive editor of Indiewire and former chief content o�cer of TV Guide. “Prior to that, people in

one part of the country really couldn’t even interact with people from another part of the country.”

Among many others, Gladys Knight, Fame actress Irene Cara and Tanya Tucker were discovered through Amateur Hour. After it went o� the air in 1970, star-studded, celeb-rity-driven shows hosted by the likes of Carol Burnett and Dean Martin dominated for a decade until Ed McMahon picked up where Mack left o� by launching Star Search in 1983.

Vocalists, musical groups,

comedians and dancers all competed against one another to win $100,000, and legions of modern-day stars had their �rst brushes with fame on Star Search. Famous “losers” included Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Dennis Miller, Aaliyah, Alanis Morissette, Beyoncé and Britney Spears.

£ough Amateur Hour and Star Search laid the founda-tion, with open audition calls in multiple cities across the country, American Idol tapped

into the idea that we’re all just a text message away from fame. And for the �rst time, the winner wouldn’t just get a monetary prize, but a record-ing contract with a major label too.

“£ere are a lot of things that can be taught, but being great on television? Some people just have that natural ability and they jump through the screen,” says Scott Bor-chetta, founder, president and CEO of Big Machine Label Group and mentor on the last two seasons of Idol.

Johnny Carson’s late-night TV sidekick and second banana Ed McMahon found his own spot-light as the host of Star Search, which revived the TV talent-show format in the 1980s.

Jennifer Hudson may have made it only to sixth place on Ameri-can Idol in 2004, but that Oscar for her performance in Dream-girls (2006) made up for it.

Carrie Underwood, Idolalumni have achieved the most fame of any of today’s talent show contestants—50 percent of the top 10 went on to suc-cessful careers in music, TV and �lm, Borchetta adds— selling tens of millions of albums, winning Golden Globes and Oscars ( Jennifer Hudson) and appearing on Broadway (Fantasia Barrino, Diana DeGarmo, Clay Aiken).

Myriad other acts, some also vocalists but many not, have seen similar success via

�e Sing-O�, �e Voice, �e X Factor and America’s Got Talent. Comedians, in par-ticular, don’t have as broad an outlet as radio for their acts to be heard, so the curb appeal of a show like Last Comic Standing often boils down to the potential of being seen on national TV.

“It’s always exhilarating performing to a crowded room—now multiply that room by millions,” says come-dian Ron Babcock, a season seven contestant on Last Comic

Standing. “If you added up ev-ery single audience member at every club, theater and college I’ve ever performed in front of—all those together don’t even come close to the audience watching a national show.

“Plus,” the Los Angeles comic adds, “it makes my mom so happy that she can go to work and drop the whole ‘My son was on TV’ line.”

For every Ron Babcock or Kelly Clarkson who ap-pears on such a competition,

though, there are hundreds of duds who make us cringe. And that’s part of the appeal of these shows, says Los Angeles–based psychiatrist and author Mark Goulston, M.D. “Why do we watch? To occasionally get excited when your pick wins, but also to rubberneck when you see something disastrous.”

�e rags-to-riches Cinder-ella stories that pepper each episode also draw in the view-ers en masse; the more tragic

the background, the better the contestant often fares, proving that society loves a good sob story. When Clarkson was still a struggling singer, she lived out of her car after her apartment building burned to the ground, a story that played out for the millions of view-ers watching that inaugural season of Idol. On America’s Got Talent, it was revealed that the Willis Clan, a 12-member band of siblings from Ten-nessee, had a horri�c history laced with sorrow after their

grandparents lost six of their nine children in a car accident two decades prior.

“It’s about the storytelling,” Borchetta says. “When you see those hometown visits, when you see the transforma-tion—which may be the most important element—into a de�nitive artist, people are fascinated by that as much as or more than anything else.”

It’s also about the high of

reality TV, says Kim Chronister, a licensed clinical psychologist in California: “Neurochemically speaking, viewers experience a spike in norepinephrine—a feel-good chemical in the brain—that results from the suspense and excitement of watching the competitions play out on TV.”

Still, as the number of talent show competitions con-tinues to multiply, this quest for the American Dream

becomes, for many, a real possibility rather than mere unachievable fantasy. At the same time, due to oversatura-tion, the genre may be close to reaching its shelf life, at least for the next decade or so.

“Interestingly, we’re back to programs like Lip Sync Battle or Carpool Karaoke that feel like talent shows but are celebrity driven,” Schneider says. “�at will eventually tire and someone will come up with a fresh take on the ama-teur show and they’ll be back again. It’s the beautiful circle of life in television.”

into the idea that we’re alljust a text message away from fame. And for the �rst time, the winner wouldn’t just get a monetary prize, but a record-ing contract with a major label too.

Jennifer Hudson may have made it only to sixth place on Ameri-can Idol in 2004, but that Oscar for her performance in Dream-girls (2006) made up for it.

Stand-up comedian Ron Babcock says TV’s Last Comic Standing gives comics unprec-edented national exposure.

The Voice, which was inspired by a Dutch reality show, uses a panel of celebrity judges, at-home votes and Twitter saves to select winners.

He’s no dummy: In 2007, America’s Got Talent season two winner Terry Fator made ventriloquism popular again.

Simon Cowell originated The X Factor in his native Great Britain, then launched an American version—along with other spinoffs around the globe. 2003-2010

2002 when the London-born judge appeared on American Idol, o�ering his humorously blunt criticism of young singers who were auditioning to be stars.

But bluster aside, Cowell, 56, has a serious eye for talent. Besides his nine seasons on Idol and his shows in England, he’s developed more talent shows in America, including �e X Factor (which spawned the hit band One Direction) and America’s Got Talent, which now airs in more than 165 countries around the world. As the 11th season of America’s Got Talent premieres on NBC on May 31 (at 8 p.m. ET), Cowell— who joins the AGT panel for the rst time—discusses why we’re fascinated with this kind of TV, as hopefuls of all ages put their singing, dancing, juggling, acrobatic, magic-trick, joke-telling, re-eating (and other) skills to the test.

Why do we love watching talent shows? In this day of reality television, where 90 percent of it is scripted and faked, the irony is that reality TV has become the opposite: unreality TV. �e di�erence in a [talent show] audition is that you actually can’t fake

it. If you’ve got to sing or if you’ve got an act, you have to be yourself. Watching some-one vulnerable, who could change his or her life forever with one audition—it’s fasci-nating. It’s sort of addictive.

What compels people to put their hearts and souls onstage for all of us to see? Because of Facebook and YouTube, the

whole world’s auditioning at the moment. You know, “Here’s my thing on YouTube” or “Here’s my pictures on Instagram—like or dislike?” We’ve become quite extroverts. Everybody wants to be famous in his or her own way.

What do you think constitutes talent? I nd that very di¢cult to dene. Having the ability to sing well is one thing. Charisma’s really impor-tant. But being remem-bered, I’d say, is probably

the most important thing nowadays; you’ve got to have something people remember you by—which is what I

think Susan Boyle had at that time. She had a great voice, but she had some-thing people related to.

Do you think everyone has some kind of talent? I think everyone’s got something. You take Madonna—she’s never going to say she’s the best singer in the world; she’s not. But her turn in life is manag-ing to stay relevant for what, how many decades—’80s, ’90s, now? Four decades! �at’s ridiculous! �at’s a talent, to market her job.

What’s your talent? I think I am good at nding talent. I’ve

got a pretty good eye, a pretty good ear. And I can kind of see into the future a bit. I can see beyond what’s standing in front of me now.

Have you ever participated in a talent show, other than as a judge? Never in a million, billion years. I think God had a word with me when I was very, very young and He said, “Stay this side of the desk.”

You never even performed as a kid? Just once? Well, yeah, I did once perform in a play, myself and my brother. And we were so bad, we got written up in the local paper as two of the worst actors [the critic had] ever seen! Because we laughed the entire way through the play. We were only doing it for fun, and I remember getting the review and bursting out laughing.

You’ve been known for being very blunt when you judge. But do you have a soft spot? Yeah, I love animals. �at’s my main thing. I don’t like bullies to animals or kids; I think that’s kind of a sickness. So when I meet someone who has done that, it repulses me. So I work a lot with animal charities.

Beyond entertainment, what purpose does a show like America’s Got Talent serve?Being inclusive, I think. Hav-ing as few rules as possible. I love that anyone can come on this show and, potentially, change his or her life.

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

Our bodies are constantly los-ing cells—skin and hair, for example—and I've heard that most or all of our body cells are replaced every seven to 10 years or so. Are we born with any cells that we keep through-out life?

—Sydney C., Feeding Hills, Mass.

Yep, the majority of the nerve cells in our brains and spinal cords develop before birth and last for the rest of our lives. Not that new nerve cells aren't added later—much of them before the tender age of 2—but then the neurogenesis process nearly shuts down. (The area in the brain involved in learning and memory does gain a bit.) Is this disappointing? It shouldn't be. Maybe this retention of brain and spinal-cord cells plays a major role in the phenomenon of humankind’s stupendous intelligence.

Also, the seven-to-10-year statement is a popular miscon-ception. Different body cells are replaced at varying rates, some much more slowly than others. For example, heart muscle cells are replaced so slowly that even if we live very long lives, we still have the majority of those cells from when we were born.

How can a person best get to know another?

—Loren Booda, Arlington, Va.

Be honest with each other from day one. Simple honesty will shorten relationships that would go bad in time and prevent many a marriage that would end in divorce.

MAKES A GREAT GIFT


By acting fast you can receive a historic, over half-century-old, 1934 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar for just $19.75 — that’s quite a value versus the regular price of $49.95 (plus $5.95 shipping and service). This is one of the acclaimed Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars struck in 90% precious silver between 1916 and 1947. In 1964, the U.S. Mint ended mintage of silver coins for circulation, making them even more coveted. Highly-sought for their history, beauty, and enduring silver value, “Walkers” have been snapped up by collectors and hoarded for decades. With the skyrocketing price of silver in recent years, these scarce 90% silver half dollars are more precious — and sought-after — than ever!

REPLY NOW! How can we offer you this 1934 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar at an amazing 64% off? Because it’s good for you — and us! We know that once our customers see the beauty of just one of these historic 90% Silver Half Dollars for themselves, they’ll want to purchase more of them.

BACON-WRAPPED ONION RINGS

Slice 2 large sweet onions about ½ inch thick and separate into rings. Dust them with the dry spice rub of your choice (like McCormick Grill Mates Sweet & Smoky Rub). Wrap each onion ring with a strip of thinly sliced bacon. (You’ll need

2 lbs; for the smaller rings, you may be able to use a half slice.) Secure the bacon with a toothpick. Sear the wrapped onion rings directly over the coals for about 1 minute per side, then move them to the cooler side of the grill and cook covered for about 1 hour or until the bacon is crispy. Brush with barbecue sauce and continue to cook an additional 15 minutes to set the sauce. Serves 4.

TWIST

TO DIE FOR

Is there any food more adored than bacon? I can’t think of one,”

says competitive barbecuer Bill Gillespie of Abington, Mass., whose

award-winning team, the Smokin’ Hoggz, was grand champion of

the 2014 American Royal World Series of Barbecue. Gillespie does a

bacon-y twist on onion rings that is irresistible. He smokes the rings for

over an hour, but you can use a grill with hardwood lump charcoal on

one side (for direct heat) and the other side left clear (for indirect). Serve

’em up with his sriracha dipping sauce and watch them disappear.

Go to Parade.com/onionrings for an insanely delicious recipe for Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple Mozzarella Rings.
