BOB NEWHART WALTER SCOTT ASKS…

The star, 84, is nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for The Big Bang Theory.

This is your seventh nomination.

Is it still exciting? It never gets old!

You’ve said that you agreed to do The Big Bang Theory because it’s filmed in front of an audience. Why was that important? The writers can change things; if a joke doesn’t work, they’ll get you another. If we hadn’t done Newhart in front of an audience, we never would have known how much people loved Larry, Darryl, and Darryl.

The series finale of Newhart is considered one of the greatest ever. That was my wife Ginny’s idea. She said, “You should end the show by waking up in bed with Emily [his wife from his previous series, The Bob Newhart Show, played by Suzanne Pleshette] and explain a dream you had about owning an inn in Vermont.” We used it!

What do fans say when they meet you? “Thanks for the laughs”—and I say, “It was my pleasure,” because it was. People have told me, “My dad passed on, but I have great memories of watching your shows with him.” It doesn’t get any better than that. t.

Q: Matt LeBlanc is nominated for playing himself on Showtime’s Episodes.

Is that an odd experience?

—Vivian P., Boulder, Colo.

A: “In the beginning it was weird, but now I think of him as a scripted character who has the same name and profession as me,” says LeBlanc, 46, who plays an egotistical TV star. “If people ple think I’m a jerk, then I’ve ’ve done my job.”

Q: Which actor has won the most Emmys for playing the same character on the same series?

–Janene B., Orono, Maine

A: It’s a tie! Candice Bergen on Murphy Brown (below) and Don Knotts as Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show each captured five Emmys. After Bergen’s fifth win, she declined to put herself up for further Murphy Brown nominations.

Q: Does real-life politics provide inspiration for the story lines on Veep?

—Bill T., Orem, Utah A: “Absolutely. I do a lot of research in D.C.,” says Armando Iannucci, 49, creator of the Emmynominated HBO series, starring Julia LouisDreyfus (an Emmy winner last year) as Vice President Selina Meyer.

“We’re making a comedy, but I want it to feel rooted in how D.C. works and the pressures people are under. You have to be not normal to want to run for office.”

WORD WE NEED combobulate (verb) to get it together

Ask Marilyn At what speed does a car consume fuel most efficiently?

—Stacy Finstad, Palm Harbor, Fla.

Every car has a “sweet spot,” most likely between 45 and 55 mph, depending on its size, weight, and aerodynamic design minus the drag-down factors that are unique to you—your driving habits, maintenance routines, and more. (You can’t boost gas mileage beyond your car’s capacity; you can only reduce it.) You and your neighbor may have identical cars but get different gas mileage. Drive the car in another climate and you’ll get still another mileage.

Bigger, heavier, boxier cars typically reach their most favorable speed sooner. Smaller, lighter, sleeker cars usually attain it later. According to the Department of Energy, it’s most realistic

to assume your mileage starts dropping rapidly around 50 mph.

And as your mileage goes down with increased speed, your risk of an accident usually goes up— except in cases where the minimum posted speed is higher. ®

CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS

For five harrowing days in 2009, Capt. Richard Phillips was held hostage by Somali pirates. Now he and Tom Hanks, who plays him in a new film, discuss bravery, fear, and that moment when an ordinary person finds himself doing extraordinary things.

w

hat makes a hero? Though heralded worldwide for his heroic actions after Somali pirates attacked his ship, the Maersk Alabama, in April 2009, Capt. Richard Phillips is too modest to go there. “Most heroes don’t have a choice; they just do the best they can,” says the forthright 58-year-old.

“What’s that saying? A hero is someone who [is braver] five minutes longer?” Still an active merchant mariner, the Vermont resident is in New York City on this June day to reunite with Tom Hanks, who plays him in the riveting film Captain Phillips, based on his ordeal.

Hanks, of course, knows a hero when he sees one. Sporting the mustache he grew for his Tony-nominated role in the play Lucky Guy, he greets Phillips warmly, inquiring about the captain’s next trip (he’s due to set sail shortly from Japan for the Persian Gulf ). The actor, 57, has his own take on the psychology of heroism: “A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown,” he says.

No matter how it’s defined, heroism is at the heart of director Paul Greengrass’s film. In theaters Oct. 11, Captain Phillips details the first hijacking of a U.S. cargo ship in 200 years, the time Phillips spent as a hostage in his vessel’s lifeboat, and the ultimate showdown between the pirates and Navy SEALs. “Every one of us hopes that if put to the test, we could acquit ourselves,” says Greengrass. “That’s why these stories inspire.” Here, Hanks and Phillips discuss everyday heroism and the challenges of portraying a real-life incident onscreen.

PARADE:

When did you two first meet, and what did you talk about?

TOM HANKS: I went up to his house in Vermont; it must have been March 2012. I asked him about his first go-round of being a celebrity, the world tour he had to make upon his rescue. And, you know, “How do you be a captain of a ship?” The standard [answer] takes in the romance of the sea; every now and again you stare at the horizon and breathe in deeply. But if you did that on the Maersk Alabama, you’d essentially get diesel fumes. So [this role] was more about portraying the pressure-filled, workaday aspect of getting goods to port.

CAPT. RICHARD PHILLIPS: A team of guys working together with the same purpose, that’s basically what it is.

disrupted by the pirate attack. A lot of people will be wondering how they might handle themselves in that situation.

PHILLIPS: One thing I learned is that you’re stronger than you realize. I was afraid, but you’ve got to put that fear on the seat next to you and do what you have to do.

I was pretty much in problemsolving mode the whole time.

Tom, when something like this happens in the news, do you think, “That’d make a great movie”?

HANKS: Here’s what I always think: “Will this have to be blown

How was the shoot? Paul Greengrass also directed United 93, another film about a real-life crisis in a confined space [the plane that was hijacked on 9/11 and crashed in Pennsylvania].

HANKS: On that movie, they would shoot the entire flight in the morning in real time, because it was only

an hour and a half at most, then shoot it again in the afternoon with the cameras in different positions.

It’s a fascinating way of working because it’s all about behavior and procedure as opposed to “Let’s get the shot where we establish this.” I called up Matt Damon, who made [two of ] the Bourne movies with Paul, and he said, “Look, the first time you do it, it’s a disaster, because everyone’s talking on top of each other. But then it settles down.” We were able to do that

mostly with the scenes on the bridge, prior to the pirates boarding. It’s a weird thing— you’re almost not performing; you’re behaving.

Captain Phillips, how did you feel reliving the incident when you watched the film?

PHILLIPS: For me, it wasn’t bad.

It’s in my past; I don’t think about it anymore. I was lucky enough to get through it, that’s the way I look at it. My wife cried at the end—it did affect her.

Did you have any sense of what was going on outside the lifeboat?

No, not at all. I didn’t know about the maelstrom of media going on at home. And even with the navy boat there [the USS Bainbridge arrived on the scene a day after the hijacking], what could they do? The normal routine was to escort the pirates to shore and wait for the ransom to be paid. As a hostage, I can say I’m glad they didn’t stick to the normal routine.

PHILLIPS:

An example would be Apollo 13.

The movie added a bit of baloney, but not much. No bad guys were added; no spies were put in.

PHILLIPS: No chase scenes.

HANKS: [laughs] No. By and large, the making of motion pictures is all about “Let’s ratchet it up.”

And I always think, “We don’t need to ratchet this up.” If you do, don’t call it Captain Phillips or The Maersk Alabama. Call it something else, and then you have carte blanche to do anything, down to sea serpents and aliens.

Do you feel, looking back, that you did have heroic moments?

times it’s not just within your hands; you have to see eye to eye with the ďŹ lmmaker on a basic philosophy. I think it’s important not to redeďŹ ne somebody’s motivations.

[In a movie] you have to have people do or say things they never did or said, and be in places they never were.

But you can take that to an extreme where it’s not really why this person does what he does, and that’s the key.

You’ve got to be a journalist and a historian and a ďŹ lmmaker all at the same time.

The Somali pirates are not depicted simply as “the bad guys�; you get a sense of them as individuals with pressures of their own.

This could easily have been about bad guys who are just evil. Most movies are like that. But the dynamics of who these four Somalis are and the pressures on them are palpable— because Paul decided to make them so.

The actors who play them all live in Minneapolis, you know. They’re part of a Somali community up there.

When I met them, I never felt more like an out-ofshape, middle-aged white man in my life. [laughs]

What are you hoping people take away from the movie?

I would say that Rich puts this incredibly well: You can always try to do something. Keep moving forward.

Keep trying stuff.

SPECIAL REPORT

TURN BACK TIME WITH THE “ANTI-AGING” BREAKTHROUGH EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT! The truth about human growth hormone (HGH): What is it?

Where does it come from? Can you boost it naturally?

And is it really the fountain of youth?

A

recent Shape magazine article starts out with a very provocative statement: “When you see a 50-year-old actress who can pass for 35, you can bet that good genes aren’t the only things responsible for her youthful glow.” It’s no secret that the rich and famous of Beverly Hills have been turning to Botox® and plastic surgery for years in an attempt to hang on to their youth. But did you know that many among this “it” crowd have been visiting some of the most expensive clinics in the world for controversial human growth hormone (HGH) therapy?

Why? Because they believe HGH helps reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, boost mood, heighten

So what exactly is HGH? HGH is a single chain peptide hormone that’s manufactured deep within the brain... in the pituitary gland. It’s released into the bloodstream and travels throughout the body. It passes into your fat cells and can actually cause them to shrink.

It enters your muscle cells, stimulating lean muscle growth so you look more tight and

and why some believe it’s the key to combatting aging. The problem is that while our bodies do manufacture HGH, our levels begin to decline rapidly as we age, and until recently most thought the best way to increase our HGH levels was through expensive prescription injections (costs can run as high as $1500 per month).

toned, even if you haven’t been working out. When it reaches the skin it maintains healthy blood flow, ramps up collagen production and strengthens the underlying substructure of the skin’s critical architecture, keeping your skin firm, tight and smooth, which is why so many experts call HGH the “youth” hormone...

sex drive, give them plenty of energy, tighten saggy skin and get rid of wrinkles... making them look and feel decades – not years, but decades – younger. In fact, some are even calling it the “Fountain of Youth.”

Dr.Oz says: “A recent study [on SeroVital-hgh] showed patients given a special blend of amino acids saw their HGH levels spike more than 6 times...”

Is there a way to increase growth hormone levels naturally?

an “underground” sensation... until the famed Dr. Oz discussed the product’s research on his show.

Until recently, the answer to that question would have been a resounding “No.” However, in September of 2012, a group of some of the most highly respected scientists in the world presented their research findings at the prestigious Obesity Society’s 30th Annual Scientific Meeting. These research results made headlines, because they showed that for the first time, there was an oral compound capable of increasing mean, bioactive, serum (blood) growth hormone levels... by 682%.

He introduced the show segment by asking his audience, “How many of you want to start feeling 20 years younger right now?” and then discussed what he called “a new frontier: stimulating your body’s production of growth hormones naturally with amino acids.”

The formula that was the subject of these research findings is now being sold by SanMedica International™ under the trade name SeroVital®.

And despite its much-hyped research, SeroVital remained

Before long, SanMedica was having trouble keeping SeroVital – with its proprietary, highly specialized, patent-pending amino acid formula – in stock. It went from underground sensation to full-blown phenomenon.

And when Dr. Oz told his audience, “I have been searching for this from the day we started the show. I’ve been looking for ways of increasing HGH naturally because I don’t like getting the injections,” you can imagine the frenzy he started.

Now, after more than 30 years of time-consuming, detailed research, there’s finally an affordable oral formula that encourages the pituitary gland to increase growth hormone production naturally, without dangerous drugs or synthetic hormone injections.

They believe HGH reduces body fat, increases lean muscle mass, boosts mood, heightens sex drive, gives them plenty of energy, gets rid of wrinkles and tightens saggy skin...

So what’s the catch?

Well, there are three. First, as with HGH injections, SeroVital is not a “magic bullet,” but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice including a sensible diet and exercise regimen.

Second, for proper absorption, you have to take SeroVital-hgh on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it first thing in the morning and then not eat

anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal... before you go to bed.

And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive than prescription HGH injections, it’s still not cheap... SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month.

Is it worth it?

To me, anything that may reduce wrinkles, tighten saggy skin, decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, strengthen bones, and boost mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive, is a no-brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the “established” medical community (and of course, they know everything) would say its benefits are largely anecdotal, with research that’s preliminary. But there’s no denying that something that has a chance of making you look and feel decades, not years, but DECADES, younger, is... at the very least... irresistible. Frankly, I’m ready to try it. How about you?
