Don Cheadle

Q: Was Don Cheadle a fan of the Iron Man comics before acting in the ﬁlms? —Mark T., Jasper, Ala.

A: “As a kid I used to read Spider-Man; I came to Iron Man when I got older,” says the actor, 48, who plays the title character’s best friend, James “Rhodey” Rhodes, in the series. “Rhodey changed with the times,” adds Cheadle. “In the comics he had an afro, then he looked like [baseball great] Cool Papa Bell, then he had a sleek era. It gave me hope that we could go many places with him.”

Pearson (left) and Presley

Q: The role of Conrad Birdie in Bye Bye Birdie is based on Elvis Presley. Did the ﬁlmmakers ever consider using the King himself? —Jon C., Ozark, Mo. A: Indeed they did. It was Elvis’s induction into the army in 1958 that inspired the plot of the 1960 Broadway hit and 1963

WALTER SCOTT ASKS…

MIRANDA LAMBERT

The 29-year-old country star has a new album, Annie Up, due May 7 with the band Pistol Annies, in which she’s partnered with Angaleena Presley and Ashley Monroe.

How is the songwriting process different with the band? It’s magical with the girls. We’ve written songs just while we’re getting ready for the show! If you weren’t a musician, what would you be doing? I’d be a party planner. One of the Annies, Ashley, is getting married, so I’m helping with her wedding. If this all goes down the tubes, I guess events are my backup plan! You and your husband, Blake Shelton, have both topped the charts. How does that feel? It’s awesome! Success on your own is great, but to celebrate with your best friend is really neat. [Despite tabloid rumors of friction, Lambert has said, “We really love each other and have a real marriage.”] Do you and Blake like to cook? We cook a lot. He grills, and I make hamburger steak with onions and mushroom gravy. That’s kind of his favorite thing.

ﬁlm, in which the drafting of rocker Conrad Birdie causes mass hysteria among his teenage fans. Executives approached Presley to star in the ﬁlm and he considered it, but his manager nixed the idea because it would have been self-parody. Instead, Jesse Pearson, who played Birdie in the national tour, reprised the role onscreen. The musical, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, airs on Turner Classic Movies today (3:15 p.m. ET). Q: What does the group 98 Degrees think of today’s boy bands? —Rose R., Denver A: “My hat goes off to them,” says 98 Degrees’ Drew Lachey, 36. “The world has changed since we were performing. Now, with social media, they don’t have a minute’s peace. We didn’t have to

deal with that back then.” After a 10-year hiatus, the band will be touring this summer and releasing a new album, 2.0, May 7.

98 Degrees

Q: I love Pauley Perrette on NCIS. Are her tattoos real? —Sally M., Atlanta A: Most of them are. “The spiderweb on my character’s neck and the cross on her back belong to CBS. Everything else is mine,” says the star of the hit drama (Tuesdays). “The producers wanted tattoos that were visible tattoo matter what I was no m wearing.” So how w much real ink does m Perrette sport?

IT’S 2013. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SEINFELD CREW WOULD BE DOING? A lot of nothing has happened since Seinfeld signed off in 1998. Facebook, iPhones, the Kardashians—what would the lovably neurotic foursome make of it all? That’s the idea behind Modern Seinfeld on Twitter, brief yet highly evocative plot lines written by BuzzFeed’s Jack Moore and comedian n Josh Gondelman. “Jerry makes a joke about Taylor Swift on The Tonight Show. Swift writes a song about him.” “Elaine’s boyfriend is threatened when he sees her reading Lean In.” “George becomes a ‘defenderr of gluten.’ ” “The voice of Kramer’s car navigation ation system is so soothing ng it puts him to sleep.”” Read ’em and smile..

COVER & OPENING PHOTOGRAPHS

eorge Washington’s portrait hangs over the ﬁreplace. A bust of Abraham Lincoln sits on a side table. That grand Resolute Desk—the one that toddler John Kennedy Jr. famously scooted under when his father was president—looms like a monument in the middle of the room. And then there’s the oh-so-familiar curvature of the walls. It’s such a perfect replica, so bracingly realistic, that it puts a patriotic lump in your throat just stepping through the door. “You have to sit in the chair,” insists Kerry Washington, who spends a lot of time in this room

“Our Acorn Stairlift has made such an amazing difference in our lives. I wish we had called sooner!” - Susan K.

he ride is just as much fun parade.com to watch on TV. Part West /washington Wing, part bodice-ripping, backstabbing soap opera, Scandal makes the nation’s capital look even more dysfunctional than it actually is. Plot lines don’t simply unfold on the show; they tick until they blow up (in one episode, President Fitzgerald “Fitz” Grant, played with boozy Nixonian angst by Tony Goldwyn, covers up a rigged election result by suffocating a Supreme Court justice in her hospital bed— and he’s not even the worst guy in the administration). In fact, Scandal ’s wacky scenarios and steamy Oval Ofﬁce romance are so over the top, it’s easy to forget what’s groundbreaking about the show: that the 36-year-old actress who plays the lead just happens to be AfricanAmerican. Washington is the ﬁrst woman of color to carry a network drama in nearly four decades, since Teresa Graves shouted “You’re under arrest, sugah!” in Get Christie Love! “I didn’t realize it had been almost 40 years when I was auditioning for the role,” Washington says later, sipping a bright green vegetable smoothie at a trendy café not far from Scandal ’s Hollywood soundstages. “I knew that in my lifetime I’d never seen it. But it didn’t compute to me that I’d be making history. I just fell in love with the character.” History aside, Washington is clearly having what Hollywood calls

“I’m as New York as you can get,” says Washington (above with her parents, Valerie and Earl, circa 1995, and right at about 5).

“a moment,” and not just because of Scandal. Over the past year, she has also shared screen time with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx in Quentin Tarantino’s racially charged western Django Unchained, presented at the Oscars, given a speech in front of 20,000 at the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina (she’s a member of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities), and brought her comedic chops to a starring role in the Tyler Perry–produced romantic comedy Peeples (due May 10). “I had two days between finishing Django and starting up again on Scandal,” she says of this whirlwind period. “It was nuts. That ﬁrst day back, we were doing a scene where I had to walk across the Rose Garden in heels. I thought, ‘I don’t remember how to walk like Olivia Pope anymore.’ I’d been barefoot in the woods for months playing a slave.” Somehow, she found her step. In fact, Washington’s turn in Scandal has helped make the series a social media sensation, with an average of more than 220,000 tweets per episode in 2013, and the ratings have been positively Reaganesque. Since season two started in September, the D.C. drama’s viewership has climbed to over 8 million (with another 2.5 million watching on DVR). “I’m just writing the show I want to watch,” says Shonda Rhimes, who created both Scandal and its long-running lead-in, Grey’s Anatomy. “And right now what I want to watch is something steamy and a little bit dark, where the morality is murky and at the end of every hour people go, ‘What’s going to happen next?’ And then they’re completely wrong when they try to guess.” ission accomplished. “The story lines on Scandal push what’s possible,” says Washington. “But there are stories on the news that change what we think is possible all the time. You hear about a governor who’s disappeared into the Appalachian trail because he has a lover, or somebody else’s behavior on Twitter. I mean, if you want to look at presidents having affairs—there are about four I can think of off the top of my head.”

She probably can’t think of more than one example involving an interracial couple. But that’s another notable aspect of Scandal: The fact that Fitz is white and Olivia black is pretty much incidental to the story. Indeed, except for a brief but shocking Thomas Jefferson– Sally Hemings reference this season, it has barely been acknowledged. Says Rhimes, who is African-American, “I write this the same way I write all my scripts, which is for the woman in my head. Meredith [from Grey’s Anatomy] is a black woman, as far as I’m concerned.” Still, she adds, “I don’t think the show is post-racial. I’m referring to race every time you see Kerry Washington being the person in charge and solving the crime and kissing the guy. Race is right there in your face.” ashington originally wasn’t that interested in doing a network drama. “I toyed with the idea of something on cable, which has a shorter season,” she says. “I didn’t want to let go of my ﬁlm career.” (Before Django, she’d costarred with Foxx in Ray and Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland and been featured in action ﬁlms like Fantastic Four and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.) From the start, though, the role on Scandal—which Rhimes loosely based on Judy Smith, the real-life African-American fixer who helped Monica Lewinsky with her issues—fit Washington as perfectly as Olivia’s Escada pantsuits.

in the Bronx, where her real estate broker father and retired professor mother still live—it turns out Washington has always had great political instincts. “As a child, I was very talkative,” she says. “When I was about 5 or 6, we’d take the train up to Amherst, where my mom was doing her dissertation, and I’d spend the whole trip going up and down the aisle asking people what they did.” uring her teen years, Washington commuted to Manhattan to attend the prestigious Spence School, Gwyneth Paltrow’s alma mater, though the star she most admired back then was fellow Bronxite Jennifer Lopez (“I would ﬁnish my homework early on weekends,” she recalls, “so I could watch her on In Living Color”). Performing was a hobby she enjoyed; she made her TV debut at 17, on an ABC Afterschool Special called Magical Make-Over. But though she won an acting scholarship to attend George Washington University, she majored in sociology and anthropology. “I wanted to study people,” she says. “I thought

I would either teach or be a shrink.” It was during a summer conservatory program for actors at New York University that “I realized I didn’t have to want to be famous to be an actor,” she recalls. “That part of the job intimidated me. I like to discover the characters and perform. All that other stuff about having to look pretty—that was foreign to me.” Now, she says, “I’ve learned to embrace that part of my business. I think of myself as two different people, the red carpet Kerry and the real Kerry.” Fame on TV, Washington has discovered, is “trippy, it’s so different. You have a weekly appointment in people’s living rooms while they’re in their underwear. It’s much more intimate.” She keeps a safe distance by declining to talk about her personal life (her engagement to actor David

Moscow ended in 2007) and by throwing herself into her work. “I feel like I barely survived Django emotionally,” she says. “The violence. Hearing the N-word every day. It cost me a lot psychologically, but it was worth it to tell that story.” “She was exhausted,” Goldwyn says of her return to Scandal. “But Kerry is like an athlete training for the Ironman competition. She’s indefatigable.” She also knows when to lighten up. “I’m a goofy person,” Washington says. “That’s how I ended up in Peeples. Tyler Perry saw me joking around when I was doing For Colored Girls and said, ‘I had no idea you were this silly.’ ” Back on the set of Scandal, Washington is clowning with a prop, a severed human body part (long story). “Because I work with the White House,” she says, “it was important to me that the series not be a reﬂection of what’s going on now. I was grateful that [Fitz] was a Republican and wasn’t going to be played by a black actor.” As for the real-life commander in chief, “I haven’t wanted to ask the president his opinion of the show. But I have lots of friends in the administration who love it. We make D.C. look sexy and exciting.”

Cold Nose, Warm Heart What my mutt turned therapy dog taught me about humanity, compassion, and the true meaning of acceptance

ransky, my 6-year-old Lab-mutt, was bored. She’d lie on the ﬂoor while I worked, listening for any activity that might include her. I’d stand up from my desk and she’d jump to the ready—too bad I was only going to fold the laundry. She needed a job, and after some searching, I found her one: therapy dog. A successful therapy dog needs three things: love to share, an easygoing temperament, and an obedient nature. Pransky had the first two in droves, but we had to work on the third. After a summer spent learning to walk easily on a leash and ignore food dropped on the ground, Pransky took the certification test and passed. Within a week, we’d become the ofﬁcial therapy dog team at the nearby County nursing home. I expected to learn things when Pransky and I started working at County, though what they’d be, I had no clue. Something about old people, maybe, or the therapeutic value of dogs. But as the days piled into months and years, it was the little unforeseen moments that began to add up to something like enlightenment. We often talk about “getting out of our comfort zone” but rarely about entering someone else’s. Pransky made that possible. With her by my side,

AN UNLIKELY TEACHER

Halpern with Pransky, a lovable mutt who became a moral guidepost.

and sometimes in the lead, I became a better, less reticent version of myself. For weeks, when Pransky and I visited Thomas, a grizzled fellow who had spent his life running a dairy farm in Vermont, our encounters always went the same way. The dog and I would approach Thomas, sitting in the day room watching TV. Thomas would reach out with his left hand and, with ﬁngers calloused from a life of milking cows and mending fences, zero in on a particular spot on Pransky’s back, moving his ﬁngers methodically

in and out. Thomas said nothing. I said nothing. Sometimes Pranny would sigh. After about five minutes, Thomas would withdraw his hand and we’d move on. “She likes that,” Thomas said one morning, unbidden. I was shocked. “ You can speak!” I wanted to exclaim, but I restrained myself and instead said enthusiastically, “She does!” “She got a haircut,” he added. Not only could he speak, he’d been paying attention. Roommates Marlene and Stella were two more residents who loved getting

regular visits from Pransky. Strangers before County but good friends now, the pair had turned their room into a crafter’s paradise. A child’s paradise, too; almost every surface on Marlene’s side was covered with dolls and stuffed animals. One day, a 2-year-old girl named Ella was visiting a resident with her father when she decided to join Pranny and me on our rounds. Marlene handed Ella a dancing, singing pig that so delighted her she wouldn’t leave the room. Ella kept pushing a button, the pig kept singing “everything is beautiful, in its own way,” and across the room Stella would join in, which tickled Ella even more. Maybe innocence is lost when we stop seeing people for who they are and start seeing them for what they are—disabled, confused, frail. We allow ourselves to think of them as not simply older or less able, but “other.” But having Ella with me was a revelation. Nothing bothered her. She made no distinctions based on incapacities or physical appearance. And it occurred to me, watching her, that this was what Pranny did, too. A dog does not understand “other.” For Pransky, the attraction was elemental—it started with acceptance. It was her lesson and her gift to me, every single week.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Serious adverse reactions have been reported following concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin with spinosad alone, one of the components of Trifexis chewable tablets. Treatment with fewer than three monthly doses after the last exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention. Prior to administration of Trifexis, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection. Use with caution in breeding females. The safe use of Trifexis in breeding males has not been evaluated. Use with caution in dogs with pre-existing epilepsy. The most common adverse reactions reported were vomiting, depression/lethargy, itching, decreased appetite, and diarrhea.

Incense has become popular at religious services and secular events. Is it harmful to breathe? —James McGlennon, via email

Incense traditionally refers to any combination of biological materials that produce a fragrant smoke when ignited, blown out, and allowed to smolder. They may include woods, spices, herbs, oils, and more. Incense is used for everything from masking odors to adding an exotic touch to your yoga classes to chasing away demons and various evil spirits. Not bad for a cure-all, and it’s inexpensive, too! Alas, breathing incense is a health risk. Its particulates can contain possible carcinogens such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons, carbonyls, and benzene. Studies indicate that frequent or longterm use may signiﬁcantly increase one’s risk of developing cancer. Not that you need to worry about enjoying a little incense on occasion. But don’t get in the habit of using it often. I have a briefcase with a four-number combination. I remember one of the numbers, but I don’t know which position it occupied. How many combinations,

Numbrix

Complete 1 to 81 so the numbers follow a horizontal or vertical path—no diagonals.

“Well, this is awkward.”

“If you have anything to say to me, write it on my wall.”

CARTOONS, FROM TOP: MARIA SCRIVAN; LEO CULLUM

Ask Marilyn

Can you ﬁgure out the answer, readers? The correct number is either (a) 2,000; (b) 4,000; (c) 9,984; or (d) 10,000. Read on for the answer and an explanation. With four numbers, 10,000 combinations (0000–9999) are possible. If you know one of the numbers (say, 5), you can try it in one of the positions, with 1,000 possible combinations (e.g., 5000– 5999). If none of them work, you can move the number to another position and try again (e.g., 0500–9599, keeping the 5 in place). With the 5 constant, you’re changing

only the three other numbers, so again, 1,000 combinations are possible. Do this four times— once for each of the four positions—and you’re bound to hit the correct combination. So the answer is (b) 4,000.
