DAVID DUCHOVNY

Whatever happened to Kelli Garner, who starred in the Pan Am TV series?

V is for Vin

—Rose B, Evanston, Ill.

A: Garner, 31, who played Kate Cameron on ABC’s Pan Am, will be showcased in the biggest role of her career when Lifetime’s The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, a two-night mini-series, premieres May 30. Garner didn’t know much about the iconic actress and had only seen a few of her movies. “It was a real opportunity for me,” she says.

After playing the womanizing Hank Moody on Californication, Duchovny, 54, returns to TV with NBC’s summer series Aquarius, premiering June 4. He’s set to reprise his role as Special Agent Fox Mulder in the new Fox X-Files series scheduled for 2016. As police sergeant Sam Hodiak, you’re on the hunt for Charles Manson in Aquarius. You were only 9 when he made headlines in 1969. What did you know about him as a child? “I liked to read about true crime when I was little. I read about the ’20s, Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde. Then around 10 or 11, I started to hear about Manson. It was the crime of the century up to that point.” After Californication, Sam Hodiak is pretty straight-laced. Do you miss the freedom of cable TV? “Nudity I don’t care about. But as a writer, I wish that there wasn’t this obsession with language we seem to have on our broadcast networks.” This June, you’re going to reunite with

Email your questions for Q: Did Ray Liotta have to learn to ride a horse for Texas Rising? —Matteo D., Providence, R.I. A: Liotta, 60, learned to ride in summer camp as a child, but he needed to brush up for Texas Rising, the History channel’s eight-hour mini-series

several original cast members to film the new X-Files. “I’m excited to work with these people again. It’s really hard to get us together to do it; everybody’s got lives, careers and children, and we live in different places. Gillian [Anderson] and I have been talking about it for a long time.” Your alt-rock album Hell or Highwater came out in May with 12 original songs. How did that come about? “Music’s always been part of my life, but not as a player. About five years ago, I wanted to actually play it, and I wanted my kids to see me learn something. I’m always asking them to learn things and telling them not to get frustrated, because it’s frustrating to learn a new skill.”

Walter Scott to personality@parade.com premiering May 25, in which he plays Lorca, an Alamo survivor. “I became obsessed,” he says. For several hours a week, he saddled up for ranch sorting competitions, herding cattle into pens on horseback. “I’ve never really had a hobby, [but] right now, that’s it. I’m still doing it.”

Before he was Fast and Furious, Vin Diesel began making a name for himself as Pvt. Caparzo in the Oscar-winning World War II drama Saving Private Ryan (1998), an appropriate film to re-watch this Memorial Day weekend. Here are five more facts. 1. Born Mark Sinclair, he changed his name while working as a bouncer— Vin for his adoptive father, Diesel because he was always “fueled up.” 2. As a teen, he was a breakdancer in an instructional video. 3. He and girlfriend Paloma Jiménez named their new daughter Pauline after the late Paul Walker, his Fast and Furious co-star. 4. He loves playing Dungeons & Dragons and taught Dame Judi Dench the game on the set of The Chronicles of Riddick. 5. He has a fraternal twin, Paul, a film editor.

BY CHRISTY LEMIRE • COVER ILLUSTRATION BY THE ANDERSON GROUP

hen Jaws splashed and gnashed its way into theaters in the summer of 1975, the world had never seen anything like it. With its brilliantly minimalist advertising campaign—the image on a poster of a great white shark ready to chomp down on a pretty, young female swimmer and ominous “Don’t go in the water” marketing tagline—it lured sold-out crowds for weeks on its way to grossing more than $470 million globally (which would be $2.2 billion today). Folks stood in line to be terrified by director Steven Spielberg’s modestly budgeted horror film that became an industry-changing, pop culture phenomenon. The modern-day “blockbuster” was born.

Although “blockbuster” comes from World War II-era weaponry that could destroy an entire city block, it became the Hollywood buzzword for hugely popular adventures that captured moviegoers’ imaginations and impressive box-office receipts.

It All Started Here In the mid-1970s, the nation was ready for a juggernaut like Jaws, says Turner Classic Movies TV host Ben Mankiewicz. “Some movie was going to strike it big then,” Mankiewicz says. “It seemed an appropriate time for various sea changes in America. We [had] sort

of grown up as a country.” After the ravages of Vietnam and Watergate, America needed an escape—even if it was a frightening one. “People were scared to go in the water, but not really,” Mankiewicz says. “They liked to be scared. It made the water more fun.” Four decades later, much of the allure of summer blockbusters lies in the tradition of fun and giddy escapism defined and established by Jaws. “Summer is the season of cinematic fast food, and September and October is the Oscar season, cinematic fine dining,” says Paul Dergarabedian, senior

media analyst for Rentrak, which follows box office figures and television viewership. “A lot of summer movies are all calories and no nutrition. But people want it. It’s the suspension of disbelief and checking your brain at the door.” For years, Memorial Day weekend in late May marked the kickoff of summer blockbuster season. But Hollywood has been known to jumpstart a good thing. This year, the starpacked superhero saga Avengers: Age of Ultron opened May 1. But the 2015 summer movie season actually began April 3 with the automotive-action epic Furious 7, which had an impressive $147 million debut and continued to be a strong draw for weeks after its opening.

STAR WARS & ET COURTESY NEWSCOM; AVENGERS BY WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS/EVERETT; JURASSIC PARK BY UNIVERSAL/EVERETT; TERMINATOR BY MELINDA SUE GORDON/PARAMOUNT PICTURES; RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK BY LUCAS FILMS/NEWSCOM; B2TF BY UNIVERSAL/GETTY IMAGES

40 YEARS AGO, THE NATION WAS PRIMED FOR THRILLS AND CHILLS. ENTER JAWS, THE MEGAMOVIE THAT STARTED THE TRADITION OF BIG SUMMER ADVENTURES AND BOX OFFICE RETURNS.

That Blockbuster Magic The highest-grossing summer films of all time run the gamut in terms of their origins, content and themes, from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in the Star Wars movies to smalltown 1950s in Back to the Future or even further into the past with the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. (See “40 Years of Summer Blockbusters” on page 8.) They are sequels and prequels, remakes and reboots. They come from the pages of graphic novels and young adult bestsellers. But they all have one thing in common: a transporting sense of wonder and imagination. “Summer is emblematic of an idea of carefree fun,” says Dergarabedian, “and the idea of the popcorn movie plays completely into that.” Frozen co-writer/director Jennifer Lee—who studied Jaws as the perfect blockbuster while at Columbia University’s film school—says it takes many months for a team to build a script that’s universally relatable, yet has a specific, unique “voice.” “Is it clear? Is it strong enough? Does it move you emotionally? We analyze that again and again and again, and we also search for themes that are simple but powerful,” says Lee, who also co-wrote the animated 2012 hit Wreck-It Ralph. “You know you

don’t have your movie yet when it takes you a paragraph to describe what it’s about.” Blockbusters are simplicity dressed up in multi-milliondollar suits. Man against shark. Super-sized robots disguised as trucks battle each other for the planet. Pirates set sail for adventures on the high seas. A dashing archaeologist travels the globe searching for ancient treasure.

Simple, Powerful— and Hard Work Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, whose blockbuster bona fides include starring in The Mummy Returns and three Fast and Furious movies, vividly recalls how Indiana Jones wowed him in Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981 when he was a 9-year-old boy in the front row of a packed theater in Charlotte, N.C. “I was so blown away by the movie and so blown away by the character, and I remember leaving there thinking, I really want to do that, like, I want to be that guy,” Johnson says. “It wasn’t even necessarily I want to be an actor. It was, I want to be that guy.” Now, Johnson is that guy. His upcoming earthquake epic San Andreas, in theaters May 29, required him to wake up at 3:45 a.m. daily for three months to work out before 12 to 14

WHAT’S HOT THIS SUMMER: Dinosaurs, Superheroes & Spies

What will be this summer’s can’t-miss popcorn flicks? Matt Atchity, editor-in-chief of the web’s go-to movie review site, rottentomatoes.com, predicts the biggest box-office smashes.

SAN ANDREAS (May 29) Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a big-budget earthquake movie looks like anything but a disaster at the box office. SPY (June 5) Melissa McCarthy’s spy-comedy romp teams her for a third collaboration with Bridesmaids and The Heat director Paul Feig. JURASSIC WORLD (June 12) Chris Pratt, who starred in two of last summer’s biggest films, The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy, now leads the longawaited return to the dinorealm of Jurassic Park.

MAGIC MIKE XXL (July 1) Channing Tatum and his buff crew hit the road for a stripper convention. Females will flock to this as a girls’ night out, and it should be a lot more satisfying than Fifty Shades of Grey. MINIONS (July 10) The little yellow guys from the Despicable Me franchise get their own spin-off, which tells the story of their quest to find the right villain to serve.

INSIDE OUT (June 19) Set inside the mind of a young girl where five different emotions try to guide her through a crisis, this will likely repeat the Disney/Pixar magic of charming both kids and grownups.

ANT-MAN (July 17) After an epic and super-sized Avengers movie, audiences may be ready for a lighter story of a teeny superhero (Paul Rudd) the size of an insect.

TED 2 (June 26) A raunchy R-rated comedy about a talking teddy bear makes over $200 million in the U.S and $500 million around the world? You should have known there would be a sequel!

The MI franchise has been consistently reliable throughout Tom Cruise’s career, so this fifth film in the series looks like his best bet to get back on track as a boxoffice force.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE— ROGUE NATION (July 31)

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON (Aug. 14)

This one’s going to be a late-summer surprise: the story of one of hip-hop’s most influential acts, N.W.A., with Paul Giamatti as the group’s manager and O’Shea Jackson Jr. playing his own father, Ice Cube.

demanding hours of shooting. Making a blockbuster is a big job, Johnson admits. “It is an incredible experience, and it is daunting and it is highly pressurized, because there are a lot of responsibilities,” he says. “There is the responsibility to deliver a good movie for the public, there is the fiscal responsibility you have to the studio, and the responsibility you have to yourself to lock into a character you really love and enjoy and deliver a good performance.” Sometimes filmmakers don’t realize they have a blockbuster on their hands, especially while they’re making it. Jaws was a famously fraught production that went perilously over budget and took months longer than expected filming in 1974 in and around Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., thanks to a mechanical shark that kept malfunctioning. In the 2007 documentary The Shark Is Still Working, director Spielberg called it “the toughest filmmaking production experience I’ve ever encountered. We must have been complete idiots to have even expected to have an easy ride in the middle of the ocean making the movie,” he said. During production on the supernatural thriller The Sixth Sense, Walt Disney Studios had so little faith in the film’s commercial prospects that the company sold the rights, recalls producer Barry Mendel, a twotime Oscar nominee. Then, when The Blair Witch Project came out just a week earlier in the summer of 1999—and became a smash hit—hopes further dimmed that The Sixth Sense could compete

sible—Rogue Nation, the fifth in the Tom Cruise megafranchise. Cruise’s co-star for the past three Mission: Impossible movies, Simon Pegg (he plays Benji Dunn), recalls the seismic effect of the original Star Wars when he was a boy growing up in England. Now, he’s a part of such spectacles himself; he also plays Scotty in the new Star Trek franchise, and he’s cowritten the script for the next installment, out next summer. The modern blockbuster is “a kind of a combination of scale and minutiae,” Pegg says. “It’s all about creating big set pieces and grand effects but having, at the heart of that, something to care about. If you can frame genuine human interaction and peril and emotion and love and all that stuff in the context of explosions and laser guns and spaceships, then you’re onto a winner.”

hether you’re catching a blockbuster at the movie theater or in your own living room, popcorn is an important supporting player. Thanks to Ashton Epps Swank, author of Party Popcorn: 75 Creative Recipes for Everyone’s Favorite Snack (Houghton Mifflin), you can branch out far beyond the standard buttered bowl. This version recalls the flavors of the luscious corn on the cob that’s a popular street food in Mexico.

MEXICAN STREET CORN POPCORN Whisk together 2 Tbsp melted butter, 2 Tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tsp lime juice in a small bowl. Pour over 8 cups popped popcorn; gently toss to coat. Then toss popcorn with a combination of 1 tsp salt, 1½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp sugar and ¼8 tsp cayenne.

POP THIS WAY Air-popping is Swank’s favorite method because it yields fully popped, unflavored popcorn that goes well with any topping. Her runner-up is stove-top popping. Either way, ½ cup of kernels yields about 8 cups popcorn. If you use microwave popcorn, choose an unflavored variety and use 2 (3.5-ounce) bags.

SCIATICA FIBROMYALGIA SHINGLES PAIN? PAIN OR ITCH? BACK PAIN? Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

Our recorded voices sound very different from the way we hear ourselves when we speak. So how can entertainers do such good imitations of famous people? No matter how correct they sound to themselves, their audiences will hear something else. —Mike O., London, England

Impressionists are all about vocal mannerisms such as accent, cadence, inflection, individual articulation habits and more—even vocabulary. A voice that is similar in pitch and tone is helpful (entertainers do use recorders to help them get as close as they can), but it’s their imitation of the unique hallmarks of the original speaker’s delivery that resonates with listeners.
