It’s not a Wheelchair...

It’s not a Power Chair...

It’s a Zinger Chair!

The Zinger folds to a mere 10 inches.

More and more Americans are reaching the age where mobility is an everyday concern. Whether from an injury or from the aches and pains that come from getting older– getting around isn’t as easy as it used to be. You may have tried a power chair or a scooter. The Zinger is NOT a power chair or a scooter! The Zinger is quick and nimble, yet it is not prone to tipping like many scooters. Best of all, it weighs only 47.2 pounds and folds and unfolds with ease. You can take it almost anywhere, providing you with independence and freedom.

Years of work by innovative engineers have resulted in a personal electric vehicle that’s truly unique. They created a battery that provides powerful energy at a fraction of the weight of most batteries. The Zinger features two steering levers, one on either side of the seat. The user pushes both levers down to go forward, pulls them both up to brake, and pushes one while pulling the other to turn to either side. This enables great mobility, the ability to turn on a dime and to pull right up to tables or desks. The controls

are right on the steering lever so it’s simple to operate and its exclusive footrest swings out of the way when you stand up or sit down. With its rugged yet lightweight aluminum frame, the Zinger is sturdy and durable yet convenient and comfortable! What’s more, it easily folds up for storage in a car seat or trunk– you can even gate-check it at the airport like a stroller. Think about it, you can take your Zinger almost anywhere, so you don’t have to let mobility issues rule your life. It folds in seconds without tools and is safe and reliable. It holds up to 275 pounds, and it goes up to 6 mph and operates for up to 8 miles on a single charge.

Why spend another day letting mobility issues hamper your independence and quality of life?

so many different types of Parkinson’s — it’s not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body. It’s like you have a good day, a good day, and then a really bad day.” Ozzy’s grateful to have the support of his family — and his fans. “They’re my air, you know,” he says.

“I feel better. I’ve owned up to the fact that I have a case of Parkinson’s. And I just hope they hang on and they’re there for me because I need them.”

FULL AT 73, THE OSCAR WINNER KEEPS BUSY WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND EXCITING NEW PROJECTS

“To raise children who go on to be great parents is an accomplishment.”

— Sally

Sally went shopping with granddaughter Sophie in New York last September.

I

n the upcoming AMC anthology series Dispatches From Elsewhere, Sally Field plays a woman who tries to liven up her uninspired existence by taking part in a mysterious game. It’s not a problem that Sally can relate to. “I really don’t have a vacancy in my life,” the Oscar-winning actress, 73, explained during the Winter Television Critics Association press tour.

“To quiet everything down would be a good thing for me!”

Sally certainly knows how to stay active. “Last year was an incredibly busy year,” she admits.

“Three weeks before I got down to Philadelphia [to film Dispatches], I had just come home from London.”

She’d spent several months in the U.K. starring in the revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons on London’s West End. A theater critic who saw Sally’s portrayal of

She co-stars with Jason Segel and Eve Lindley in Dispatches From Elsewhere, airing on AMC this March.

“These four people get randomly sucked into a game,” says Sally. “And they find out who they are within that.”

Kate last spring called her heartfelt performance “superb.” “There will always be a dearth of roles for women…[so] you go where the work is,” explains the star, who has no thoughts of ever retiring from acting. “I can’t say I see that cut-off date. I don’t look that far into the future. I just go until I don’t go.”

LOVES OF HER LIFE

While work keeps her feeling invigorated, Sally’s greatest pleasure is her family. “The three things I’m most proud of in my life are my sons,” she says. “They are kind, loving, productive people. Each with their own list of talents and accomplishments.”

Her eldest boys, from her marriage to Steven Craig, are Peter, 50, a screenwriter and novelist, and Eli, 47, an actor and director.

Her youngest, Sam Greisman, 32, is a filmmaker and the product of

Sally’s 1984–’94 marriage to producer Alan Greisman.

She also has five grandchildren — Isabel, Sophie, Ogden, Noah and Colin — who are frequent visitors to Sally’s airy home in LA’s posh Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

“She loves having so many grandchildren — she’s fun and goofy with them,” confides a friend.

The star admits that her whole “existence” is her kids and grandkids. “I’m not married; I’m not the kind of person that has a life separate from them,” Sally says. “That’s my family. That’s my everything.”

Sally, who also had a long relationship with the late Burt Reynolds, isn’t opposed to finding new love, but it’s not a priority. “If she met someone special, she wouldn’t hide him,” says the friend. “At heart, Sally is a perpetual optimist but she’s happy in her own skin.”

She’s rarely lonely. Her years in Hollywood have provided her with a large circle of friends including her Forrest Gump co-star Tom Hanks and producer Steven Spielberg. “She’s not a party person, but she’s close with a lot of people,” notes the pal.

When she does have “quiet time” Sally fills up her days with needlepoint, books and gardening. “She never sits around; she’s always engaged,” says the friend.

That’s because there’s still so much to do. “I want to learn how to play the piano real quick,” Sally says, “because ticktock, ticktock, time’s a-wasting.”

SECRETS

EVEN AFTER YEARS IN THE SPOTLIGHT, THE SUPERSTAR HAS A FEW CONFESSIONS TO MAKE

F

By LOUISE A. BARILE

or the last song of the evening on her current Here We Go Again concert tour, Cher launches into a high-energy, triumphant version of her 1998 hit “Believe” — and the audience always goes wild! It’s been more than 20 years since this dance-driven tune topped the charts and six decades since Cherilyn Sarkisian became the flamboyant goddess known as Cher. And while she may feel like an old friend to her many fans, the superstar insists there are still a lot secrets she’s never shared with anyone.

For starters, Cher asserts that worldwide success as a recording artist, performer and actress has not changed her one bit. “I’ve been the same person since I was 6 years old,” says Cher, 73, adding that fame has never cured her bouts of insecurity. “I am not a woman with a lot of confidence unless I am doing my work,” she admits. “Many times before I go onstage, I have to say prayers because I have stage fright. Not enough to keep me from doing it, but enough to make it hard until I get into the first or second song.”

The self-doubt Cher still struggles with likely took root during her difficult child-

hood. Her mother, Georgia Holt, 93, divorced Cher’s truck driver father before their daughter’s first birthday and worked hard just to feed her. “We were very poor,” confides the performer, who as an infant was temporarily placed in the care of a Catholic orphanage while her mother waitressed at an all-night diner.

Cher says that when Georgia tried to claim her, she was accused of being an unfit mother and urged to put her baby up for adoption.

It took six months and the help of a local politician before Cher was returned to her mother. “She felt so helpless, and helplessness is a terrible thing,” says the star, who released a song about the incident in 2000 called “Sisters of Mercy.” “I don’t mean to be disrespectful to any religion,” she continues. “I even wanted to be a nun when I went to Catholic school. [But] I feel it’s important to write about things that hurt you or bother you that could be hurting other people.”

A WILD CHILD

The power to raise issues of injustice, soothe people’s pain or unite strangers in joy is something Cher never imagined she would one day possess. From an early age, her CLOSERWEEKLY.COM 19

long, dark hair and exotic features made her feel at odds with other girls. She also struggled in school due to dyslexia, which remained undiagnosed until her adulthood. “I couldn’t really read or spell, and I didn’t understand numbers. If you’re dyslexic, numbers look like little scratches,” she says. “My teachers used to say things like, ‘We think she is really smart, but she doesn’t apply herself.’”

Restless and unhappy, Cher became a problem child. “I was wilder when I was 9 years old than I ever was as a teenager. I stole a horse, I jumped on a freighter and kept going until my girlfriend started crying for her mother,” she recalls. “I learned how to drive when I was 11. My grandfather taught me.”

After that, Cher often used to “borrow” her mother’s keys and take her red Pontiac convertible out joyriding. Her youthful escapades only came to an end after she was caught by the police. She had driven away in a friend’s car and he reported it stolen.

20 February 10, 2020 CLOSER

“All I could to the Big House,” she says with a laugh.

THE BEAT GOES ON

Cher became a star — first with Sonny Bono in the 1960s and later as a solo artist — through the power of her outsize talent and magnetic personality, not her ability to recognize a hit song! She admits she was dismissive when Sonny introduced her to the tune that would become their anthem, “I Got You Babe.” “When he wrote it…I said, ‘I don’t think it is very good. I am going back to bed,’” she recalls.

Songwriter Diane Warren says Cher also didn’t want to record “If I Could Turn Back Time,” which would become a smash hit for her in 1989. “In general, I’m not a huge Cher fan, I’m really not,” says Cher, who has previously said she wishes she could record songs more reminiscent of performers like Joni Mitchell or Bruce Springsteen. “I don’t want to listen to what

I do,” she says. “I don’t want to see it, and I don’t want to hear my voice.”

Of course, Cher’s success encompasses more than just a recording career. She honed her comedy chops with Sonny in nightclubs before getting all the best lines on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, which made her the queen of variety shows in the 1970s. A decade later, she did theater, which helped her break into Hollywood with movies like Mask, Silkwood, The Witches of Eastwick and 1987’s Moonstruck, which won her an Academy Award for best actress.

ANOTHER SIDE OF CHER

Despite a life that looks charmed, Cher admits she’s made some huge missteps both professionally and personally. After divorcing Sonny in 1975, she leaped into a new marriage to guitarist Gregg Allman, whom she divorced four years later. “I started to make huge mistakes in front of everyone, because I was still 16 inside. [It was a mistake] marrying Gregory and getting divorced so fast,” she says.

The death of her ex-husbands, Sonny in 1998 and Gregg in 2017, affected her deeply.

“Gregg was her greatest love, but Sonny was the love of her life in that they experienced the world together,” says a friend.

After her film career was interrupted for two years by a bout with Epstein-Barr, Cher returned to the “I ove the spotlight as a pitchwoman — another mistake. “The infomerway singing feels cials were just devastating to in my body — my career,” Cher confesses. “I because it’s so really screwed up.”

Cher redeemed herself by big, and I’m not.” mounting live tours again. She — Cher also returned to Hollywood with two musicals: 2010’s Burlesque and 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, where her cameo stole the movie. That last film inspired her to release 2018’s Dancing Queen, an album of all ABBA covers.

Though she’d announced a “farewell” tour back in 2005, Cher says she may never stop performing live. “On the road is where I have the most power, because it’s my show and I create it,” she says.

“I think that that’s the place where you feel like you can be exactly who you are.

That’s where I feel free…. If I couldn’t sing, I’d be miserable.”

STAR STORIES FAYE DUNAWAY

Don’t Call Me

DIFFICULT! THE HOLLYWOOD ICON BATTLES HER REPUTATION AS A DIVA AND HOPES FOR ONE LAST BIG COMEBACK

W

hen Faye Dunaway was fired last year from her role as Katharine Hepburn in the Broadwaybound production of Tea at Five for allegedly abusive behavior, it seemed like she was living up to her image as an impossibly demanding diva. “She was really angry,” an insider tells Closer of her ouster. “She feels she should have been treated like the esteemed actress she is.”

Her immense gifts have never been in doubt. Faye, 79, shot to superstardom as an outlaw opposite Warren Beatty in 1967’s Bonnie and Clyde. “That movie touched the core of my being,” says Faye, who was born and raised in Florida. “She was a yearning, edgy, ambitious Southern girl who wanted to get out of wherever she was.”

Hard-edged characters became Faye’s stock-in-trade. She played a two-faced femme fatale in 1974’s Chinatown and won an Oscar as a heartless TV executive in 1976’s Network. The roles contributed to her public persona as relentlessly driven.

“They led to an image of me as being not vulnerable, not real, not a feeling, caring woman,” Faye says. “It’s hard for me to find real roles that have a kindness and softness, because people associate me so much with these overly strong women.”

MOMMIE ISSUES

Then in 1981 came the indelible part that Faye has never been able to shake: abusive movie star Joan Crawford in the campy bi22 February 10, 2020 CLOSER

opic Mommie Dearest. “My own personality and the memory of all my other roles got lost along the way in the mind of the public and many in Hollywood,” she says. “It was a performance — that’s all it was. But that was the unfortunate reality for me.”

Faye insists that what some people interpret as unprofessional conduct is merely a desire to keep pushing for the highest possible quality in her work. “Life is a process of trying to be as good as you can be,” she says. “It’s the striving toward a kind of perfection, knowing that you’re never going to quite achieve it. But it’s the trying for it that makes the difference.”

Danielle de Niese, who co-starred with Faye in her never-released film directorial debut, Master Class, describes her as “a perfectionist in every single sense” — not that there’s anything wrong with that.

“When she works on something, it’s a labor of love,” Danielle adds.

“She invests very personally into everything she does.”

Faye’s seldom-seen soft side shined through in her work with son Liam Dunaway O’Neill, who also acted in the film. Says Danielle, “She has a very tender relationship with him.”

Liam’s father, Terry O’Neill (Faye’s second husband), died at 81 in November. “Faye was very sad,” says the

THE ICONIC FUGITIVE STAR NEVER SETTLED DOWN DURING HIS TRAGIC, TUMULTUOUS LIFE

A

record-breaking 78 million viewers tuned in to see David Janssen’s Dr. Richard Kimble catch the onearmed man who killed his wife in The Fugitive’s 1967 series finale. But in real life, one thing always eluded David: lasting happiness.

After his parents divorced when he was 4, David was left by his mother, a former Ziegfeld Follies showgirl, at LA’s McKinley Home for Boys for three years. “Many times, his mother would call and say, ‘I’m picking you up,’ and she just wouldn’t show,’ ” friend Mike Phelps, co-author of David Janssen: My Fugitive, tells Closer.

He discovered acting as a teenager but didn’t find fame until he landed the title role in TV’s Richard Diamond: Private Detective in 1957. A year later, he married model Ellie Graham in Las Vegas. “The first five years were bliss,” says Phelps. “But as his fame grew internationally, she became insanely jealous and very insecure.”

ALWAYS ON THE RUN

Their marriage fell apart after David had an affair with Fugitive guest star Suzanne Pleshette. “David was one of the great loves of my life,” Suzanne later said. “But he had to figure out his life.” By the time 24 February 10, 2020 CLOSER

David starred in 120 episodes of The Fugitive between 1963 and 1967.

David was divorced in 1968, Suzanne had gotten married to another man.

In 1975, David wed actress Dani Crayne, a socialite famous for throwing parties. “He hated it,” Phelps says.

“He had a minibar in his bedroom, and that’s where he would stay.”

David’s heavy drinking — “I would call him a functioning alcoholic,” says Phelps — and smoking may have contributed to his death from a heart attack at 48 in 1980. “He was happiest when he was working,” says Phelps. “He said to me one time, ‘It keeps me out of trouble, especially with my wives.’” — Bruce Fretts, with reporting by Katie Bruno

He and second wife Dani wed in 1975 at the house of MCA mogul Lew Wasserman.

MICHELE LEE

Make ’Em Laugh AND THE BENEFITS OF A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR

With husband Fred Rappoport, 73, at the Kennedy Center…

left) Knots Landing’s Joan Van Ark, Ted Shackelford, Donna Mills, Nicollette Sheridan, William Devane, Kevin Dobson and Michele

sk any former Knots Landing cast member and they’ll tell you: Michele Lee was the funniest person on the set. Where does her vivaciousness and sense of humor come from? “A lot of drugs,” Michele, 77, quips to Closer. “But seriously, my father was very, very funny. And sometimes I hide behind my humor. It gets your foot in the door. People notice you. When I was a kid, I was accepted because I was funny and sang.

That’s it.” Those talents also helped the former Michele Lee Dusick, whose father was a Hollywood makeup artist, sustain a sixdecade career that’s taken her from Broadway (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) to films (The Love Bug) to the longestrunning nighttime soap ever (Knots) and back again (Wicked). Having guts helped, too. Right from her first audition, Michele confesses to Closer, “I wasn’t afraid of anything.”

You just reunited with Donna Mills and Joan Van Ark for a 40th anniversary tribute to Knots Landing at the Hollywood Museum!

We’ve all remained friends. And certainly “the girls,” as I call us — Donna, Joan and me — if anything, have gotten closer.

You were a star for years before Knots debuted in 1979. How did you get the role?

I was at a party at my agent’s house, the show

…and with her son, David Farentino, 50, in 2017

Michael Filerman — who I didn’t know, and who became the executive producer — said, “I think I have found Karen.” The next day they offered me the role. I said, “What the hell is this?”

Ha! What was it that threw you?

In the script, Karen walked into someone’s home unannounced and told her stepdaughter to leave. They said, “Have you ever seen Dallas?” So I watched it, and I went, “Oh, OK. I understand.” I was really unsure, and I didn’t think of it as a soap opera, because initially it was self-contained stories about couples in a cul-de-sac. It became a soap in the later years, not early on.

You’re the only star who did every episode from 1979 to 1993. Why? We were very proud of what we were doing, and I was very proud to have directed and put my stamp on the show that I loved so.

Near the end, they asked actors only to be on X amount of shows to save money. I told them I wanted to be on every show, and if it came down to it, I’d do it for nothing.

Wow. What were your favorite storylines?

My favorite was when Val’s twins were taken from her, and Donna Mills was always fun to watch. And Karen had a drug addiction story at the same time Betty Ford had announced CLOSERWEEKLY.COM 45

HEART to heart hers. I was skeptical about it, and then I became proud. I put together a short about Karen’s disease that was distributed to schools and addiction centers, and Betty Ford called me to meet her in Palm Springs [Calif.]. I visited three or four times, and I remember the former president and first lady on their porch waving me goodbye. I was in a limo — and then my friend and I drove to McDonald’s!

You grew up in Hollywood and had a lot of starry encounters, didn’t you?

My father was a makeup artist on Rawhide with Clint Eastwood. The few times I’ve seen him at parties, he calls out to me: “Dusick!” And my dad did Dr. Kildare with Richard Chamberlain, one of the nicest men I’ve met in this business. I did have a crush on him, but they started doing publicity pictures with him and me as the “teenage girl” he’s dating…. And now he’s gay, and I can’t even date him! [Laughs]

What a start to your career!

I did not want to be an actress.

I wanted to be a performer, to sing. And then as people were hiring me, it was like, “Holy s---. I have to act now?” If I was older, I’d have been one of those MGM musical stars.

PUPPY LOVE

Michele’s son, David, “hasn’t had children, so I’m not a grandma,” she says. “But my Maltipoo, Emma, is my child. I thought I’d never be one of those ‘woo-woo’ people who talks to their dogs — but I talk to Emma all the time. I love her as if she’s a baby.”

What came next?

Before I went to Broadway, the first thing I filmed was The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

We were wearing bras that had points, and I sounded like Minnie Mouse! I did How to Succeed on Broadway, then the movie [version], then The Love Bug, because I knew how to drive a stick shift! [Laughs] I found out I was pregnant when I was doing it. I did The Comic and several specials with Dick Van Dyke. I love him and his wife!

How did having David with your first husband, James Farentino, change you?

I think it changed me inside and out. It How did you get your start? changed the way I would choose things, When I was 16, I sang with a band at weddings, bar mitzvahs. There was an ad for how long I could go away for, and when I singers who act, and my dad said, “You have could take my son with me. to have thick skin. You’ll be turned down You had a rocky 1966–’83 marriage to constantly.” So my mother took me to my James. What did you take away from it? first audition for a review, Vintage ’60. The producers stood on their feet, and my father That if you’re married a long time and had to eat his makeup sponge! Everynightwe they don’t do you in, and you can’t live had stars like Judy Garland in the audience, with them, what a joy it is to keep the relationship. I kept one with Jim until the and David Merrick took it to Broadway.

Filming 1968’s The Love Bug with Dean Jones “was great fun, because you had to imagine things. It was the magic of Disney: If they wanted the Love Bug to shake because it was frightened, someone would stand underneath it and poke it.”

“I have a picture at age 16 with my father putting on my makeup and Richard Chamberlain pointing like he’s telling my father what to do. That was done by a studio photographer.”

After replacing the star of the 1961–’65 Broadway musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, she landed the lead in the 1967 film with Robert Morse, “which never happens!” she says. “I had such a crush on Bobby.”

“I’m still in awe of me….

Just kidding!”

day he died. I was there when he passed away, with his wife, because Jim and I never called each other exes. We called each other “my former.” He’d say, “Hi, Former!” And I fell in love with his wife, and she loved me, so I would go over for dinner, they’d come for holidays. Yes, our marriage was rocky, but once we calmed down after we split, it was like we found each other again with a great friendship love.

That’s so nice! You’ve been married to Fred Rappoport since 1987. What’s the connection?

I met Fred when I was on Knots Landing and he was at CBS. So we spoke the same language. He understands me.

Good to hear! What’s up next for you?

I’m working on a short documentary I can’t talk about. The three of us Knots Landing girls have been asked to go to theaters and do interview shows with clips, and we more than like each other. So I’m in a wonderful place! — Reporting by Amanda Champagne-Meadows

REEL LIFE

Memories of BEFORE THE SITCOM, ELLIOTT GOULD & CO. TURNED WAR INTO THE TOP COMEDY OF 1970

F

ifty years after its release, M*A*S*H is remembered as one of the funniest movies of all time, as well as the inspiration for one of TV’s most beloved sitcoms. But just thinking about shooting it “makes me want to cry,” Elliott Gould, 81, tells Closer. “I’d just been fired from a Broadway play and was asked to meet [director] Robert Altman. A lot of people turned him down. He gave me the part and so much freedom, more than anyone before, and I took it all.”

That freedom, along with the ribald humor of doctors “Trapper John” McIntyre (Elliott), “Hawkeye” Pierce (Donald Sutherland) and “Duke” Forrest (Tom Skerritt) in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War, made the film a counterculture smash. “It was a low-budget, silly thing made off the radar,” says the late director’s son Michael Altman, 64, who wrote the lyrics to the film’s theme song. “There was a lot of opposition from studio heads to putting out an anti-war film, with pot and overlapping dialogue — and then it turned out to be the top-grossing” comedy of the year.

Based on Richard Hooker’s novel MASH, the film was written by Ring Lardner Jr., but Altman largely ignored the script. “About 80 percent was improvised,” Tom, 86, tells Closer. “The studio hated it and [Lardner] wanted his name taken off, but he went on to win an Oscar for writing it!”

Altman took an equally freewheeling approach to casting. He initially asked Elliott to play Duke.

“I said, ‘I never question an offer, but if you haven’t cast Trapper John, I’ve got the juice for it,’ ” Elliott recalls.

“He let me cast myself!”

At first, Donald and Elliott “didn’t quite get what Bob was doing,” notes Tom, adding that the stars often quarreled with the director. “I felt like a referee.” They even tried to get Altman fired. But once the actors saw footage of the film’s funniest scenes, like when an adulterous encounter between Maj. “Hot Lips” O’Houlihan (Sally Kellerman) and uptight Maj. Frank Burns (Robert Duvall) is broadcast on a PA system, they came around.

Sally was worried about shooting the film’s most infamous scene — soldiers pranking Hot Lips by dropping a shower tent. “I, being a stupid young person, said, ‘If she’s that nervous about being nude, why don’t we all take off our clothes so she won’t feel alone?’” recalls Gary Burghoff, 76, the only leading actor to reprise his film role (“Radar” O’Reilly) in the sitcom.

“Then I was the only one who was naked when the curtain came down! But almost everybody was naked for the second take. Sally had a wonderful time. There was much laughter.”

The response was infectious when the film hit theaters. M*A*S*H earned $81 million, surpassed by only Airport and Love Story at the box office that year. It tapped into the anti-war sentiment of the Vietnam era with humor and realism. “Doctors I knew coming from the war said, ‘We had to joke because it was so overwhelming — the disasters, the bodies, the ruins, the damage done,’ ” Tom says. “‘This is the way it was. Laughter was essential.’” — Reporting Tom (center) had third billing after

D

elving into the story like never before, the upcoming Reelz documentary College Admissions Scandal: Varsity Blues exposes how desperate, well-to-do parents are drawn into illegal schemes involving prestigious universities, crooked coaches and shady college counselors to game the system for their kids. Most disturbing of all, it answers the question of whether the recent cases that brought charges against 50 people in six states are just the tip of the iceberg, and whether the college admissions system

52 February 10, 2020 CLOSER

has always been rigged.

Former Fuller House star Lori Loughlin, 55, and husband Mossimo Giannulli, 56, face charges that they allegedly worked with admitted scam mastermind William “Rick” Singer to create fake profiles designating their daughters, Isabella, 21, and Olivia Jade, 20, as rowing recruits (even though neither participated in the sport) and allegedly paid $500,000 to a sham charity to get the girls into the University of Southern California. By insisting on their innocence, Lori and Mossimo — who face up to 40 years in prison on fraud, bribery and money-laundering charges — could end up paying a heavy price.

AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE

Meanwhile, Felicity Huffman is moving on with her life after pleading guilty to having a proctor correct her 19-yearold daughter’s SAT scores, then serving 11 days of a two-week prison sentence last October. (She also paid a $30,000 fine and is under a year of supervised release.) The Desperate Housewives vet, 57, was spotted in LA on Jan. 19, smiling and toting cupcakes during a visit to the Teen Project, the nonprofit where she’ll do 250 hours of community service. “Felicity realizes how spoiled and entitled she was acting,” a source says. “She’s a changed person.”

For her part, Lori — who recently traded accusations with federal prosecutors about withheld evidence — is digging in her heels as she awaits trial, which is scheduled to begin late this year. “Sometimes she gives the impression she doesn’t care what happens to her,” says the insider. “But privately, she has to be dreading what lies ahead.”

“I’m not afraid to fail, and I’m not overly impressed with success. I’ve learned that failure doesn’t kill you.”

— Kevin

1985 THINK AGAIN Preparing for his breakthrough role in Silverado, he decided “to compete with nature.

Since my character didn’t relate to any other characters on-screen, I shouted at the hills and stuff like that. Later, when I was told women liked that, I was shocked. It was a good lesson: You can’t anticipate what people are going to think.”

1987 NESS IS MORE Of Eliot Ness in The Untouchables, Kevin said, “He’s a man who likes the law and likes his family, and when he’s taunted and pushed far enough, the violent streak he has below the surface is activated. It’s not unlike my own personality….

I can be pushed about a hundred yards, but there’s one inch that’s really mine, and it’s not a great idea for anybody to get in there.

I’m kind of afraid of that ugly streak.”

MY LIFE IN GROWING UP in Compton, Calif., Kevin Michael Costner admitted his family “was very, very normal, which made it a hard choice to become an actor, since that wasn’t ‘normal’ at all. The choice of acting could have been considered indulgent, an indication of maybe not wanting to grow up or face the real world.” Nevertheless, this self-described “rascal” would make it his world — picking up on it in college and seeing it through dead-end jobs and challenges such as famously having his part cut from The Big Chill. He endured such setbacks and went on to become a star in movies such as Field of Dreams, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and JFK…all while finding the time for a life with his own family, including his seven children.

And while it may have been difficult to balance everything, Kevin, who turned 65 on Jan. 18, wouldn’t have it any other way. “There’s a certain joy that comes with a struggle,” he said. “I think most people want the endgame. I’ve always liked the journey.”

1988 BAT AN EYE “I love the way I’ve been embraced by baseball,” confessed Kevin, who started that love affair with Bull Durham. “The best sports movies are obviously not about sports. They’re about boys and girls who do get along, and sometimes don’t get along, and have just a strong desire to be together and sometimes don’t have the words to figure out how to do that.”

1992 LIKE-MINDED “I didn’t realize at the moment when I really wanted Whitney [Houston] that she wasn’t selling out stadiums,” he said of his co-star in The Bodyguard. “I had no idea that she wasn’t on an uptick, if you will. But it didn’t matter to me because, you know, when I like someone or like something, they don’t fall out of fashion for me…. I know that I like them.”

1996 TO A TEE Though he “wasn’t too f---ing impressive” as a golfer, Kevin jumped at doing Tin Cup. “I wasn’t working at the time. I’d just done Waterworld and had gone through a divorce, and my heart was pretty much on the ground. But I knew working with [Bull Durham director Ron Shelton] again would be the best therapy, because he basically hands you something you can’t fail with.”

1991 DANCE CLASS Kevin won a pair of Academy Awards for his directing debut, Dances With Wolves, but he admitted, “I knew that it was unlikely to get any better. All I have done is what I have always done: try my best. I never appear in a film thinking it will be anything but a good one…. Not everything has worked. But who can claim that in life?”

2003 BACK IN THE SADDLE After the critical and commercial failure of 1997’s post-apocalyptic pic The Postman, Kevin won acclaim for his next directing turn, the Western Open Range. “[Westerns] are hard to make.

And there really are very few good ones.

There are really only 10 or 15 Westerns that I have liked throughout my life. The rest of them were mostly rubbish.”

2013 TRUE AS STEEL Before playing Superman’s dad in Man of Steel, Kevin had taken time off to play dad to his three little ones with second wife Christine. “I want it to be me who tells them about the secrets, the beauty, the treachery and everything that is in life. I don’t want them to learn from someone else.”

2012 ON THE RECORD With his Emmy-winning turn as a feuding 1860s patriarch in Hatfields & McCoys, “I was so surprised at how deep I was actually able to go, that I began to write a lot of music about it, about the era and time.” The result was the album Famous for Killing Each Other. “I’m as proud of it as anything I’ve ever done.”

2018 RAISED RANCH “The cowboy is alive and well in America,” Kevin explained of what drew him to TV’s Yellowstone. “It’s nice for people to know that places like this still exist in America, where it’s pretty, and it feels like the Garden of Eden, if you will.”

“Good girls go to heaven,” screen siren Mae West once said, “but bad girls go everywhere!” At the premiere of Bad Boys for Life, former teen star Vanessa Hudgens proved that she was all grown up in a sexy confection by Georges Hobeika.

With a thigh-high slit in its flowing skirt, attention-grabbing white feathers and a bodice adorned with crystal beads, it could have come from Mae’s closet during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
