Q: Did Carey Mulligan do her own singing for the ﬁlm Inside Llewyn Davis? —Jean D., Alexandria, Va. A: Yes. Despite having no formal training, the 28-year-old Brit holds her own on “Five Hundred Miles” with costar Justin Timberlake in the Coen brothers’ ode to New York City’s early-’60s folk music scene. Mulligan’s husband, Mumford & Sons’ Marcus Mumford, also harmonizes on two of the ﬁlm’s songs— though not with her.

Q: Has Bellamy Young known all along about her character’s traumatic backstory on Scandal? —Linnea A., Dallas A: Nope, that was classified information. Young, 43, says she’s been as stunned as viewers by the third season, as show creator Shonda Rhimes fills in blanks about why first lady Mellie Grant is so tough with her philandering husband, Fitz (Tony Goldwyn). Says Young of Rhimes, “She’s like a chess master. Everything is intricately wrought, and she keeps the story very close to her vest.” Hang on for new episodes starting Feb. 27.

What’s the mostwatched Christmas special on TV? —Risa G., Milwaukee A: Hooves down, it’s the

Rankin/Bass “animagic” puppet film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The tuneful fable, which debuted in 1964, consistently scores top ratings for CBS each holiday season. Says coproducer Jules Bass, a nonretiree at 78 (his latest project is a kids’ ebook, The Mythomaniacs), “Every year, there’s a new group of people who’ve never seen Rudolph.” For Do you have a question for Walter more on Rankin /Bass, go to parade Scott?

BRUCE DERN

The veteran character actor, 77, is getting awards buzz for his turn as a bewildered but feisty old man in Nebraska, now in theaters. How does it feel to be getting such acclaim in a lead role? I’ve waited a long time for this ride, never knowing if it would really come. What was it like to hit Hollywood circa 1960? My generation got a chance to work with the legends. But you can’t be bigger than life today. Too many people want to know what you do after work. You can’t be a mystery anymore. You project such intensity in movies like Coming Home. What do you tap into? A good emotional memory. I got sent to prep school my ﬁrst two years of high school to shape up, and I came back from there pissed off. What’s the secret to a lasting career? Understand at the very beginning that it’s an endurance contest. Nobody makes it overnight. If they do, they’re gone in a decade. Bruce dishes about Hitchcock’s methods at parade.com/dern.

Actor-director Ben Stiller takes a cue from his new movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and shares his own adventurous turning points—from far-ﬂung travel to fatherhood

JOURNEYS THAT CHANGED MY

en stiller can still vividly recall being in the

delivery room when his children were born. As he and his wife, actress Christine Taylor, prepared to welcome their eldest, daughter Ella, in 2002, his excitement was mixed with an overwhelming realization. “It’s like, ‘Wow, what’s inside is going to come out,’ ” he says with a laugh. As he heard his firstborn’s first cries, Stiller stepped up to perform an important task: cutting the umbilical cord. The big moment, which he repeated with son Quinn in 2005, was marked by the kind of pride and anxiety any new dad would recognize. “You don’t want to screw it up, you know?” he says. These days Stiller, 48, is awaiting another new arrival—his latest film, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which he both stars in and directed. Due out on Christmas, this poignant and gently funny movie reinvents James Thurber’s classic short story of an ordinary man with an extraordinarily active

FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY LAND

My dad and I took a father-son bonding trip to Israel when I was about 16. We got a car and drove across the country. We went to Jerusalem and Masada. I’ve always loved history, so it was great exploring that part of the world. I went scuba diving in the Red Sea, and my dad took the resort course to learn how to dive, too. I always give him credit for that because he wasn’t really the scuba diving type. So we ended up diving in the Red Sea together. They also had a Jet Ski by the beach. You’re supposed to start on your stomach and then pull yourself up, but he never pulled himself up; he just went around with his feet dangling off at about 40 miles an hour. He was into it. I met a girl on that trip and we had a whirlwind romance. Is it blasphemous to say we ended up making out near the Western Wall? It might be. But we did. My dad was pretty supportive of my liking this girl even though it was our trip together, which was cool. I was really into Phil Collins at the time; “In the Air Tonight” will always make me think of her. It was one of those times you don’t ever forget.

goals for the week was to get away from my phone and not check my messages—not to know that she hadn’t called. I wasn’t in a celebratory mood on the plane to Dublin because I was thinking, “Where is she right now? Who’s she with?” But there was an announcement from the pilot, “Happy New Year! It just turned midnight.” This was pre-9/11, and the stewardess said, “You can go check out the cockpit if you want.” I was like an 8-year-old boy, saying, “Really?” I remember the pilot was reading the paper while he was ﬂying

Back in 1996 I directed a movie called The Cable Guy, starring Jim Carrey. It was a great creative experience but the movie was a big flop. I remember I stopped reading the New York Times review after the sentence that said, “But the true disaster movie of the summer may just be The Cable Guy. …” I knew it wasn’t going in a good direction. Dealing with that made me appreciate what came afterward much more. It also taught me that the outcome doesn’t always relate to the experience you have doing something—and that doesn’t mean it wasn’t valid or good, especially if it was what you wanted to do. The Cable Guy was Jim Carrey at the height of his career saying, “I want to do something that’s not safe.” I always admired that he made that choice and

THE ROAD TO TIPPERARY

In my mid-20s, I had a relationship that didn’t work out and I was trying to ﬁnd myself a bit. I asked a guy I knew in New York if I could stay on his couch for a few days. The holidays were coming up and I didn’t know how to spend them because I was so broken up. This guy and I didn’t know each other very well, but we both had Irish relatives, so I said, “Let’s go to Ireland for New Year’s.” And he was game. One of my

the plane; that fills you with confidence. We landed at about five in the morning, and it was like that U2 song with the lyric “All is quiet on New Year’s Day.” We had this eightday road trip where we drove through the Wicklow mountains down south, then to Galway and up to Belfast. I learned how to drive on the other side of the road; I think I smashed our side mirror a couple of times. I looked up the town where my mother’s family was from—O’Meara is the original Irish—which is Toomevara, in Tipperary. We didn’t find anybody I was related to. But we had some beers with the locals, and I felt like I connected with the place. It was one of those things where we both took a chance—“I’ll go on a trip with this guy”—and to this day, we’re really good friends. When it was over, we flew back and I finally checked my messages. She hadn’t called. But I felt better. I felt like I had taken action and done something for myself. Everybody has stories of times when they’ve tried to figure out their life. You’re stepping into the unknown. In retrospect, you look back and go, “Things happen the way they’re supposed to happen.” But at the time it’s scary. That trip helped me move forward and get more of a sense of myself.

imagination, with Stiller’s Mitty, a photo editor at the folding Life magazine, embarking on a globe-trotting adventure that ultimately trumps anything in his daydreams. It is something of a departure for Stiller, who’s best known for his roles in broadly comic franchises like Meet the Parents and Night at the Museum. “At a certain point, you want to be taking chances,” he says. “That’s when you’re having the most vital experiences.” On the surface, Stiller, the New York City– raised son of actors Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, would seem to have little in common with his sheltered everyman character. But he insists that even a guy whose ﬁlms have grossed more than $2 billion at the box ofﬁce can relate. “As you get older, you start to see the things you haven’t done, the things you want to do, and you seize the moment more,” he says. Inspired by Mitty’s epic trek, Stiller shares his own life-altering expeditions.

Legal Notice

If You Bought Packaged Ice From a Retailer Your Rights May Be Affected by a Proposed Class Action Settlement A class action lawsuit alleges that Arctic Glacier, Home City Ice, and Reddy Ice (collectively, the “Companies”) conspired to ﬁx and raise the price consumers paid for packaged ice. “Packaged Ice” is ice sold in bags. There is a proposed settlement (the “Proposed Settlement”) of a bankruptcy proof of claim based on the class action lawsuit with one of the Companies, Arctic Glacier. Home City Ice and Reddy Ice have previously agreed to separate settlements. The Court’s Fairness Hearing: The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) will hold a hearing on February 27, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (ET) to consider whether to approve the Proposed Settlement. At the hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will also consider whether to approve Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees in an amount not to exceed 33 and 1/3% of the Maximum Settlement Amount, plus attorneys’ costs not to exceed $350,000, and a $1,000 payment to each named plaintiff. Who Is Included? If the Proposed Settlement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, you will be a member of the “Settlement Class” if you bought Packaged Ice: (I) made by any of the Companies between January 1, 2001 and March 6, 2008 in any of the following states: (a) Arizona; (b) California; (c) Iowa; (d) Kansas; (e) Maine; (f) Massachusetts; (g) Michigan; (h) Minnesota; (i) Mississippi; (j) Nebraska; (k) Nevada; (l) New Mexico; (m) New York; (n) North Carolina; (o) Tennessee; and/or (p) Wisconsin (collectively, the “Claims States”); and (II) from a retailer — such as a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station. You are not included if you bought ice only directly from one of the Companies or only in a location other than the Claims States. What Does The Proposed Settlement Provide? The Proposed Settlement provides for cash payments of an aggregate amount not to exceed $3,950,000 (the “Maximum Settlement Amount”) in exchange for the Settlement Class’s release of certain claims against Arctic Glacier and certain other parties. Members of the Settlement Class who submit a “Claim Form” may be entitled to receive cash in the amount of $6.00 for claiming purchase of three or more bags of Packaged Ice. To receive more than $6.00, members of the Settlement Class must claim purchases of more than 10 bags of Packaged Ice, with proof of purchase for each bag of Packaged Ice exceeding 10 bags. Holders of approved claims will receive $6.00 for the ﬁrst 10 bags and $0.60 for each additional bag. Payment amounts may be reduced proportionally under certain circumstances. For more information concerning the terms of the Proposed Settlement, please visit www.arcticindirectpurchaser.com; www.wildlawgroup.com; or www.amcanadadocs.com/arcticglacier; or call toll free (855) 226-8304. What Are Your Options? If the Proposed Settlement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, you will be legally bound by it and will forfeit your right to sue Arctic Glacier and certain other parties for any claim released by the Proposed Settlement. If you do not want to be legally bound by the Proposed Settlement or do not want to release your claims, you must exclude yourself in writing to Arctic Glacier Settlement Processing Center, c/o UpShot Services LLC, 7808 Cherry Creek South Drive, Suite 112, Denver, CO 80231 so that it is actually received no later than February 20, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. (ET). If you choose to exclude yourself, you must do so at your own risk and expense (including the risk that any new lawsuit is already barred by certain orders made in Arctic Glacier’s bankruptcy proceedings). If you do not exclude yourself, you may object to the Proposed Settlement or you or your lawyer may appear and speak at the hearing — at your own cost. The deadline to submit objections is February 20, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. (ET). For more information concerning your options, please visit www.arcticindirectpurchaser.com; www.wildlawgroup.com; or www.amcanadadocs.com/arcticglacier; or call toll free (855) 226-8304. How Do You Ask For A Cash Payment? If the Bankruptcy Court approves the Proposed Settlement, Claim Forms will be available at www.arcticindirectpurchaser.com; www.wildlawgroup.com; or www.amcanadadocs.com/arcticglacier; or call toll free (855) 226-8304.

I proposed to Christine when I was rehearsing Meet the Parents. I flew from New York to L.A. to surprise her. I put candles and rose petals leading through her house to the back deck, where I was waiting; it was really cheesy and romantic. She sensed when she saw the petals that it was a friendly intruder. I got down on one knee and then realized I had totally forgotten the ring! So I was like, “Hang on a second.” I had to run into the other room and get it out of my backpack. I got back and said, “Will you marry me?” And she said, “Yes, of course!” I was so happy. I asked her father for permission before I did it. The first time I met her family was when her grandfather passed away, and I went to Pennsylvania. It was like Meet the Parents in real life, because Christine’s father is an intimidating guy who owns a security company; we’re good friends now, but at the time I was in the basement rec room saying, “I really would like to marry your daughter. …” He’s a man of few words but he was very welcoming. I was more nervous asking him than asking her, because I thought that Christine and I felt the same way. Our relationship was a gradual thing that happened over a quick period of time, maybe seven or eight months. We just started hanging out with each other and it developed into, “Wow, this feels great. I really like this person. I think I love this person. I really do—I love this person!” It hit me out of the blue. I think marriage, or any relationship, gets interesting about five or six years in. People are always changing and you can’t take things for granted. It’s

never backed away from it. Luckily I didn’t know that we were going off into an area that could be really tricky. After that, I sort of waited for the dust to settle. I wrote a script with a friend that never got made, but I delved into that fully and had a great time doing it. And then a couple of years later I was in a movie that did well, There’s Something About Mary, and I knew that if people weren’t calling me as a director, I was fortunate enough to be able to work as an actor. It was good to have the Cable Guy experience before that success; it wasn’t that I just

daunting to think, “This is it—everything’s going to stay the same.” That’s scary. You need to evolve together and listen to each other as you go through ups and downs. Life throws a lot of things at you; romance comes and goes. Having Christine as my best friend, someone I can share everything with, is huge. We can really lean on each other. She’s very funny, too, and laughter is such an important part of a relationship. Sometimes I’ll get a little intense, and she’s a much lighter person; she’s great at pulling me out of that. She makes me laugh or see how ridiculous I’m being.

BABY ON BOARD

When your wife is pregnant for nine months, you get used to the idea of pregnancy. Obviously, you know where it’s leading, but it almost becomes this abstract idea; and then suddenly the next time you go back to the house, you have another person living with you. Who you’ve just met. Your child. So I will always remember that drive home in the car with Ella. I was very nervous. We’d been around a lot of people, nurses and doctors, telling us what to do—and now it was just us with the baby. It was my ﬁrst time with the car seat and I wanted to make sure it was all secured. (Eleven years later, I’m still learning how to work a car seat.) I remember thinking, “Drive really carefully. …” It’s precious cargo! And the huge realization that I was powerless now over the feeling I had for the baby. How much I loved this person and wanted her to be okay. I was thinking moment to moment: Just get her from the baby carrier to the crib. … It’s a short distance but a huge change. Suddenly the house feels different. Then the journey of watching your kids grow up unfolds. You’re just ﬁguring it out as you go, no matter how many books you’ve read or how many ideas you have of what you want to do. You see the way they look at the world, and that affects how you look at it. My kids are 11 and 8 now, and I can see aspects of myself in them but I also see two totally unique individuals. And I wonder how they became so well adjusted!

CANDY LAND

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

Why are the geographic north pole and magnetic north pole in different locations? —Loree Pons, Menifee, Calif.

Protecting Land for Wildlife 6 Ways You Can Help Protect Wildlife 1. Protect your own land with the help of the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust! 2. Don’t allow hunting or trapping on your property. 3. Support your local nature centers and wildlife sanctuaries. 4. Support stronger laws against canned hunting and poaching. 5. Save the Earth. Don’t buy furniture or lumber made from tropical hardwoods.

The geographic north pole marks one end of Earth’s axis of rotation. However, this rotation alone is not what causes our magnetic ﬁeld. Our planet also has deep layers—the inner and outer cores—that spin, and at different rates. The process creates currents and convections in the molten outer core. All of this action generates an effect like a huge electromagnet, creating one magnetic pole in the north and another in the south. They don’t correspond to the geographic poles, which are just one visible factor in the whole complex phenomenon. This is why the magnetic poles are not located at the geographic poles and wander constantly—daily, in fact.

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

You have so many nicknames. What should we call you? Santa is ﬁne. You know, from time to time I’ve tried out new nicknames. The Toyminator. Chairman of the Fjord. But nothing sticks. Did you know that in Afghanistan they refer to me as Baba Chaghaloo? And in Romania I’m Mos Craciun. I like that one because it kind of makes me sound like a rapper. How has your workplace changed over the years? Oh, you wouldn’t believe it. For one thing, we don’t really call it a workshop anymore. Technically it’s the biggest distribution facility in the world. No, wait, that’s Amazon. Anyway, we’re in the top two. The elves and I try to keep up with the technology, and that includes upgrading my red suit—it’s now 100 percent neoprene with maximum thermal efﬁciency. Next I’m going to have the little fellas put a seat warmer in the sled.

e’s the biggest celebrity on the planet, and Santa, famous for fulﬁlling billions of wishes—and rocking the best beard this side of Duck Commander—rarely grants interviews. But Alex Tresniowski chatted by Skype with the man of the season in the noisy North Pole workshop he shares with Mrs. Claus and a whole bunch of elves.

Pinterest! I draw the line at text messages, though.

How did you come up with “Ho Ho Ho”? That’s trademarked, by the way. You owe me twenty bucks. Kidding! Actually, I came up with that in the shower. These days I’d have to run it by a LEAVING million focus groups, but COOKIES FOR THE BIG GUY? back then it was just one FIND OUT man trying to capture the HIS 10 FAVORITE RECIPES AT joy and spirit of yuletide PARADE.COM/SANTA. in his bathroom.

Santa Claus!

The jolly man in the red suit gets personal about his weight, his favorite movie St. Nick, and the time he ran into Cher on Christmas Eve

You’ve been portrayed in dozens of films. Do you have a favorite movie Santa? Edmund Gwenn in Miracle on 34th Street, of course. This may surprise you, but I’d also say Tim Allen in The Santa Clause. You know what Christmas movie I really like? Elf. That guy, what’s his name—Will Ferrell! Gosh, he’s funny. I guess you could say he sleighs me. Get it? Do you ever encounter celebrities while you’re delivering presents? I do, and it’s always a thrill. A

couple of years ago I delivered a hibachi to Matt Damon and he was just the nicest guy. Saw Cher in her bathrobe once. Let’s see, who else … Oh, I met one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, but I couldn’t tell you which one. All I know is she had enormous hair. Do you really read every letter sent to you by children around the world? You bet I do, and it’s not just letters anymore! Now it’s tweets and emails and Facebook messages and posts on

Your weight issues have been well documented over the centuries. Are you eating better these days? I try to limit my carbs, avoid saturated fats, do a little cardio now and then. But think of all the milk and cookies! And that’s only here! In other countries kids leave me pudding and porridge and mince pies. That’s like seventy trillion calories right there! Christmas morning I have to take an antacid the size of a hubcap. Everyone thinks of you as being full of mirth, but deep down, are you happy? I couldn’t be happier. Seriously, I have the best job ever. I bring smiles to children’s faces. I spread glad tidings and good cheer. I have a reasonably good dental plan. Let’s face it, I’m the luckiest guy in the world. So Merry Christmas, everyone! Ho Ho Ho!™ DECEMBER 22, 2013 | 15
