Wayne, who died at 72 in 1979, had a deeper, longer-lasting connection with his three-time costar, Marlene Dietrich, than people knew. “She followed him around to film locations to keep the relationship going,” says Eyman. “And she got Hollywood heavyweights to help manage him after he hit an early career slump in the 1930s. She elevated him to another level.”

Soldier’s Emily VanCamp

Q: Who’s Emily VanCamp playing in Captain America: Winter Soldier? —Sonia F., Albuquerque A: The actress, 27, says a full reply might be a spoiler for the superhero sequel, due April 4. But we can tell you that sparks fly when her character, doing laundry in pink pajamas, meets the Captain, a.k.a.

Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). “It plants the seed of their relationship,” says VanCamp, who also stars on ABC’s Revenge. “You get a little taste that keeps you wanting more.”

John Wayne and Marlene Dietrich in Pittsburgh, 1942

WALTER SCOTT ASKS...

JAMES VAN DER BEEK

The Dawson’s Creek alum, 37, plays a newly divorced OB/GYN on the sitcom Friends With Better Lives (CBS, Mondays).

Did your new role call for any research? I’ve tagged along to a few gynecologist appointments in my life.

[Van Der Beek has three kids.] I thought it was interesting that this guy works intimately with women but is clueless about dating them.

You starred as Dawson Leery from 1998 to 2003. Was it sad to wrap that Do you series? I was 26, and I couldn’t have a wait to be done. I just wanted to be question for Walter free and play somebody my own Scott? Post it at age. As it turned out, I had a lot more facebook.com growing up to do than I realized, figur/parademag. ing out who I was outside of that job.

On Don’t Trust the B— in Apartment 23, you played a version of yourself. I told them, “Don’t ever be afraid of offending me.” We [considered] that balance of, what’s the most disastrous thing that can happen to this guy and still have people laugh?

That show joked about a Dawson’s reunion. Any chance? I hoped it would grind those wheels to a halt. [Dawson’s creator] Kevin Williamson has said very eloquently that it’s not going to happen.

Mindy Kaling and Chris Messina’s pivotal scene

Q: What’s next for Mindy and Danny on The Mindy Project, now that they’ve kissed? —Betty D., Chicago A: “I love secrets and lies,” says series creator and star Mindy Kaling, 34, “and we’ll see the dramatic fallout with everyone they work with.” As for a triangle developing between the duo and lawyer Cliff when the show returns (April 1 on Fox), Kaling says she isn’t drawing on her own experience.

“But if I ever do find myself in a love triangle, I will make it last as long as possible.”

Q

How did April Fool’s Day get started?

–Chuck W., Bethesda, Md. A: It’s murky, but the roots of All Fools Day, as it’s sometimes called, date back at least to the 1500s as an occasion to perpetrate tomfoolery, possibly in reaction to spring’s mercurial weather. It’s observed on April 1 in many Western countries, including Italy and France, where pranksters cry “April fish!” as they tape paper pesci or poissons to people’s backs, and Scotland, where “Gowkie Day” makes anyone a potential “gowk,” or cuckoo.

it an approximate date.

Eventually my family moved—first to Minnesota, where the fishing was better, then to Ohio, where it was worse. I went to college in the mid-1960s, which is a long ­story, and after graduation I headed to the Rocky Mountains, settling, or at least ending up, in Colorado. It was there that I made two of those rash decisions you can make when you’re young and at loose ends: I decided to learn how to flyfish for trout and to make my living as a writer. Both turned out to be easier said than done, but somehow worked out.

I’ve now lived in Colorado for 45 years. Why here and not another fly-fishing mecca like Idaho or Wyoming? Hard to say, but I think it all started when I bought my first Colo­ rado fishing license in 1969. I asked the guy behind the counter at the hardware store when opening day was and he said, “There’s no opening day because there’s no closed season.

You can go fishing any day you can stand to be out there.”

I put the license in my w ­ allet, walked out into a chilly early spring afternoon, and said to myself, “Son, you’ve come to the right place.”

John Gierach’s new book, All Fishermen Are Liars, comes out April 15.

Like most kids, my dilemma wasn’t whether to go fishing but how to get someone to take me.

This idea is so pervasive that i wonder if there may be a grain of truth in it. is there? —Sue S., Aledo, Tex. No. If temperature changes caused colds (or made us more susceptible to cold viruses), we’d be getting colds all summer, too.

Changes in the weather are frequent then, and we routinely go in and out of air-conditioned homes and shops. (Restaurants and theaters often seem frigid!)

Drier indoor air in winter may play a role in vulnerability, but people get colds only from other people, not from the weather.

Eva Longoria tells all about family, her new man, what makes her feel beautiful, and her passion for helping others “This is fun stuff!” Eva Longoria happily declares as we leave a business meeting at UnbeliEVAble Entertainment, her Universal City, Calif.–based production company.

“We have eight shows, two TV movies, and two miniseries in development.”

Indeed, the petite (5-foot-2) former Desperate Housewives star—who looks fresh and elegant this February day in a white silk shirt, beige pants, and simple tan leather flats—has been anything but idle in the years since her divorce from NBA player Tony Parker and the end of her influential series. She will costar in four new films, but increasingly Longoria, 39, is devoting her considerable energy and intelligence to pursuits beyond acting. In addition to developing a slate of TV projects, she has directed the first episode (airing April 20) of the second season of Devious Maids, a Lifetime dramedy about Latinas working for the Beverly Hills rich that she executiveproduces along with series creator Marc Cherry, a Desperate Housewives colleague. She also earned her master’s degree in Chicano studies from California

life with Liza and became a special education teacher because of her.

Did you resent your mother’s devotion to her? Did you feel deprived of love?

No. My mom had four kids, one with special needs. She had a fulltime job, and she still came home and made dinner for us every night, from scratch. It was amazing. I feel like I’m not tapping into my full potential, because I remember her being the ultimate multitasker, a supermom. And I don’t have kids!

When did people start to notice your looks?

Not until college. I was like, “Wow, this is new! Why are boys looking at me?” It wasn’t until then that I paid attention to it. And looking back at my photos I still go, “What was I thinking with that makeup?”

But I guess what you’re looking for is, when was that [facet of me] validated, and it was when L’Oréal signed me. We’re celebrating my 10th anniversary with L’Oréal next year; I don’t know if that makes me feel old or proud. [laughs] I remember when they were first interested in me as a beauty ambassador—I almost fainted. Me? That was an epiphany. But I won’t let it define me. My involvement in the world, my ties to my family, my curiosity, my appreciation of living in a ­global community—all of that is way more attractive!

Do you worry about the fact that you’re—

Aging? No, no, no! I would never want to repeat my 20s. I welcome age with open arms because I want to evolve as a human being, gain more wisdom. I have so much more to do! And the only way you do that is with age.

Is there a limited shelf life for beautiful women in entertainment?

There’s an expiration date.

does the way beauty is presented in the visual media make women feel like they fall short?

I don’t think you can put the full blame on images. The responsibility lies in how you raise your child. I grew up surrounded by women: three sisters, nine aunts, 20 female cousins. They were my role models—smart, educated, ambitious, and very traditional at the same time. I saw my mom as a working woman who also wanted to raise children and take care of the home. Today it’s much harder to balance all of that, because everybody’s role models are celebrities. I didn’t grow up with that.

Every time I speak to kids, they say, “I want to be famous like you.”

And I reply, “Then you should become the doctor who cures cancer.

If you’re extremely successful in any career, you’ll become famous. But fame should not be your goal.”

what Bono did with AIDS in Africa; he was laser-focused. I thought, “I want to pick one thing where I can be effective.” I started the foundation because education has been such an influence in my life. My mother, sisters, aunts were teachers. I want to help women in the Latino community. That’s why I got my master’s degree.

Because of my sister, Liza, having a disability. Anytime there was a program [for her] in our community, we utilized it. But at the same time, we had to give back, so we’d all volunteer. I knew the word volunteer at a very, very young age.

What was your impetus to create the eva Longoria Foundation, which helps Latinas and their families with education and entrepreneurship, in 2012?

As my fame grew, I got letters every day. The requests for help were overwhelming. I looked at
