Is Hailee Steinfeld focusing more on music than acting now that she has a record deal?

WALTER SCOTT ASKS...

MORGAN FREEMAN

He played God in Bruce Almighty, and now the Academy Award winner, 78, explores the mysteries of the divine as host (and producer) of the National Geographic Channel series The Story of God, premiering tonight.

Why do you think people believe in a higher power?

If you go back far enough—let’s say to the beginning of human curiosity—we began to wonder why the top of a mountain would blow off or why all of a sudden it wouldn’t stop raining or why the earth shook. Those were unknowable, unanswerable questions. And the answer for what you don’t know is God, the great unknown.

One episode covers miracles. Like what? We interviewed Alcides Moreno, a window washer who had fallen 47 stories to the ground. He and his brother, who died, were on a scaffold when the cabling broke. The aluminum platform sailed down, like a leaf or a piece of paper.

The guy broke almost every bone in his body—but lived.

What do you believe? My personal belief is in life, at least on this planet. Life everlasting, for the simple reason that life is so self-sustaining. You die, but you’re not useless. You die and your body is put to use. Everything that feeds, feeds on something that’s dead.

Did you find that no matter where you went people were more or less the same regardless of what they believed? Oh, yes, yes, yes. We came away from this project with the feeling that we’re much more the same than we are different.

A: While Steinfeld, 19, who released her debut EP in November, says music has always been a passion, she certainly hasn’t given up on acting. She will reprise her role as Emily in Pitch Perfect 3 in 2017, but first she stars in Term Life (in theaters April 29) as the daughter of a thief (Vince Vaughn) who hopes his hefty life insurance policy kicks in before he’s done in by mobsters, hit men and dirty cops. Her other movie credits include True Grit (for which she received an Oscar nomination), Ender’s Game and Begin Again.

Outlander is my favorite show. I am so glad it is coming back for another season. Did author Diana Gabaldon base any part on her own life?

—Margery M., Cranston, R.I. A: Gabaldon, 64, says there is a bit of herself in all of the characters in the popular Starz TV series based on her books. “Where I live there is a group of fans who take me out to tea every year to pick my brains about what’s coming up,” she says. “On one of these occasions, they got started on the character Black Jack Randall [Tobias Menzies]. They’re going, ‘He’s so loathsome, he makes my skin crawl,’ and I’m sitting there sipping my tea, thinking, You have no idea you’re talking to Black Jack Randall, do you?”

Watts Up

It’s back-to-back films for busy Naomi Watts, 47, who follows last month’s The Divergent Series: Allegiant with Demolition, in theaters April 8, starring as a single mom who helps a widower (Jake Gyllenhaal) rebuild his life. Here are five facts about the Britishborn actress, who is married to actor Liev Schreiber (Spotlight, Ray Donovan).

1. She was 11 when the movie Fame made her want to pursue the spotlight.

2. She met Nicole Kidman at an audition for a TV commercial when they were both starting their careers, and they’ve been best friends ever since.

3. She has a Yorkshire terrier named Bob. 4. Her father was a road manager for the band Pink Floyd.

5. She gave up risky hobbies—swimming with sharks and skydiving—after she became a mother.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

Here’s a puzzle. What do these words have in common: bother, favorite, mistake, pastry, portable, product?

—Bill Shaw, Burke, Va.

If you want to ponder this on your own, readers, stop here.

The answer appears in the next paragraph.

Each term contains two adjacent words if you allow the last letter of the first word to be the first letter of the last word.

Confused? These are the words: bother = both + her; favorite = favor + rite; mistake = mist + take; pastry = past + try; portable = port + table; product = prod + duct. For good brain exercise, try thinking of more, such as threshold = thresh + hold and pastime = past + time.

A spinning top always stops. Why does the Earth keep spinning?

—R.W., St. Louis, Mo.

A child's top is soon stopped by friction and gravity. The spinning Earth, however, is immense compared to the frictional and gravitational forces that act upon it, so it continues to spin. Not that the planet is entirely unaffected. For example, the tidal pull of the moon is gradually slowing the Earth’s axial rotation. Back when dinosaurs were in charge, a day lasted about 22 hours; millions of years in the future, a day may last 26 hours.

In addition, major earthquakes can slightly alter the Earth's mass, causing a minute change in the length of the day, making it either shorter or longer.

The Truth About

A

WEIGHT LOSS

By Leslie Goldman

s we make our way through our 40s, 50s and 60s-plus, a host of agerelated factors conspire against our waistlines, causing us to gain a pound or more per year. Among them: less physical activity, hormonal fluctuations and a pokey metabolism caused by a natural decrease in muscle mass. Is it any wonder that 80 percent of the respondents in the 2016 Parade/ Cleveland Clinic Weight-Loss Survey say that they are trying to lose weight now or have tried in the past year? Nearly 40 percent want to lose 10 to 30 pounds. “As we age, it is even more important to keep your weight in check,” says Leslie Cho, M.D., section head of preventive cardiology at Cleveland Clinic. A healthy weight guards against many chronic conditions. “The key to success is making healthy diet and exercise part of your lifestyle.” Here’s how.

1. Fruits and veggies are as close to a magic pill as it gets. Eating healthfully

was a challenge for survey respondents (48 percent say it’s harder than exercising), but there is a fairly simple fix. A Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics study found that women who increased their fruit and veggie consumption by two servings a day weighed three pounds less after four years compared to women who kept their produce intake the same. The same trick should work for men too, says study author Bethany Barone Gibbs, Ph.D., of the

University of Pittsburgh Department of Health and Physical Activity: “It’s a small change that can deliver a better longterm result, because it’s not as challenging as, say, giving up French fries forever.”

2. Make sure you wash that produce. Pesticides

are considered obesogens, meaning they may predispose people to weight gain. The produce most likely to be coated in pesticides?

Apples, peaches, nectarines, strawberries and grapes, along with celery, spinach, bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry toma-

toes, imported snap peas and potatoes. Be sure to scrub these products well, or purchase organic versions to minimize exposure. Other obesogens to avoid: the chemical BPA, found in many plastics and in cash register receipts, and cigarette smoke (firstor secondhand).

3. Hit the weights. After

30, we lose 3 to 8 percent of our muscle mass per decade. Since muscle burns calories even at rest, that’s bad news for your metabolism. The best way to burn more fat is strength training (a fact recognized by

31 percent of respondents, although 60 percent mistakenly thought walking was better). “Find a certified personal trainer familiar with your age group,” says Pete McCall, an adjunct faculty member at Mesa College in San Diego who blogs for the American Council on Exercise. He points out that more and more trainers these days are in their 50s and 60s themselves.

The key is lifting heavy enough weights that you can only complete six to eight reps. Doing so, he says, causes women to produce growth hormone and men to make testosterone, both of which “help burn fat, build lean muscle and give you a more youthful appearance.”

4. Catch more ZZZs.

Logging enough sleep not only keeps you alert, it may keep you thin—a fact that 46 percent of survey respondents got right.

A 2015 University of California, Berkeley, study found that night owls are more likely to gain weight and have higher BMIs than their peers who turn in early. That’s because when you deprive your body of sleep, levels

New stars bring the Disney classic The Jungle Book roaring back to life.

BY LAMBETH HOCHWALD

he original 1967 Disney animated musical is a classic, with generations of fans whistling its tunes (“The Bare Necessities” for one) and ever drawn to the story of Mowgli, the Rudyard Kipling–created character raised by wolves in the jungle. That’s why ushering The Jungle Book back onto the big screen wasn’t a task director Jon Favreau took lightly.

“The film came out a year after I was born, and it must have been an early influence on me,” says Favreau, known for directing Marvel’s Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Disney produced a live-action Jungle Book in 1994, but it’s the 1967 film that Favreau considers to be the jumping-off point for his remake, an action-packed live-action/computer-animated hybrid.

Attracting a modern audience to the film was at the forefront of Favreau’s mind. “Audiences have become very sophisticated over the decades,” he says. “The film has more thrills and more of a sense of danger than the original. At the same time, it’s a PG-rated Disney film, so kids will love it too.”

Casting Mowgli was one of the film’s challenges, Favreau says. “When a film has one live-action character surrounded by special-effect wild animals, you’re going to watch that actor for a long time,” says the director. “So it was important that I found somebody that audiences would enjoy spending that much time with.” Neel Sethi, a 12-year-old who makes his film debut in the movie opening April 15, was that actor.

Parade spoke with Sethi and the new stars of The Jungle Book—and celebrates the voice talent that first brought the characters to life nearly 50 years ago.

MOWGLI

THE BRAVE BOY 2016 Plucked from thousands of kids who auditioned for the role of the boy who was separated from his parents after a tiger attack in the jungle and raised by wolves, New York native Neel Sethi, now 12, relocated to Los Angeles to shoot the film last summer. The special effects presented a quick learning curve. “At first, I didn’t know the science behind everything and how it all worked, but now I do,” he says. “There was a lot of makeup—that part took an hour and a half a day!”

1967 Born in 1955, Bruce Reitherman voiced the role of Mowgli in addition to that of Christopher Robin in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

The son of a Disney animator, he’s recently worked as a cinematographer and producer.

KAA

THE WILY PYTHON

2016 Drawn to the python’s charm and her ability to hypnotize Mowgli, Scarlett Johansson voiced Kaa while eight months pregnant with her daughter, Rose. “Kaa is all-knowing and slippery,” says the star of The Avengers, Lost in Translation and Her. Johansson also sings the song “Trust in Me” in the film. “It’s a strange melody,” she says. “We wanted it to be a lullaby, but it has a very mysterious sound.” The actress, who started acting at age 8, says she relates to Sethi. “When I was younger, I wish I had the camaraderie with a director that Neel has with Jon,” she says. “I think that really helped Neel.” One day, Johansson, who is currently shooting Ghost in the Shell in New Zealand, hopes her now-18-month-old daughter can see the movie.

“I’ll have to tell her, ‘Yes, your mom’s a snake.’ ”

SHERE KHAN

THE FEARSOME TIGER

2016 “I love the fact that I can be part of the remake of something that’s already great,” says Idris Elba, best known for his work on TV’s Luther and for winning 2016 Screen Actors Guild and Independent Spirit trophies for his role in the film Beasts of No Nation. Elba wanted his Shere Khan to have a deep, menacing voice that reflects his hatred of man. “Man has destroyed his home and hunted him, which has made him a bitter, angry protector of his space,” he says. Giving the character a British accent was a deliberate decision too. “That gave the character a sort of regalness.” Elba also tapped into how he felt when he once visited the jungle in Ghana.

“The jungle is a scary place,” he says. “At night, it’s super dark—you don’t know where you are.

It’s not easy to be a human in the jungle.”

1967 Known for his upper-class

English accent and bass voice, British film and TV star George Sanders was the earlier voice of Shere Khan.

The actor, singer and music composer also starred in Rebecca and All About Eve and played Mr. Freeze in a two-part episode of TV’s Batman. He died in 1972.

BAGHEERA

THE GUARDIAN PANTHER

2016 “Bagheera is a creature who would, in our modern terms, be a general,” says Ben Kingsley, who voiced Mowgli’s

1967 Kaa was voiced by a man—noted character actor Sterling Holloway—who was also the original film voice of Winnie the Pooh, and of the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland.

Holloway died in 1992.

THE LAID-BACK BEAR 2016 A veteran of more than 75 movie and TV roles, Bill Murray, who plays Baloo, is well-acquainted with Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book tales, originally published in the late 1800s.

“I’m a huge fan,” says the star of Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, What About Bob? and The Monuments Men. “It’s really extraordinary writing. I thought it was a real piece of art. So when Jon Favreau said, ‘Would you like to do this?’ I really couldn’t say no.”

1967 An American singer, musician and bandleader in the 1940s, Phil Harris was known for his deep voice and for singing The Jungle Book’s signature tune, “The Bare Necessities.” He appeared regularly on Jack Benny’s radio show and on his own radio series. He died in 1995.

“After all, my character takes a human being into her pack without question.” She also loved the original film. “I can’t remember how many times I watched it,” she says. “I loved the characters and the songs.” The actress, who also appears as Maz Kanata in Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens, is thrilled by what the film represents. “I love this idea of a child’s fantasy to live in a world without adults, to live with all these cool animals and climb trees,” she says. “It was a utopia for me to experience Mowgli’s world.”

PRESIDENTIAL

LIBRARIES

We celebrate four more of America’s 13 presidential libraries in part three of our series.

Look for Presidents Hoover and Nixon in a future issue. By Kathleen McCleary

Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, Mich.

Don’t miss: The staircase that led to the helipad on top of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon when the city fell to the North Vietnamese in April 1975. “We believe six or seven thousand people went up that staircase to freedom,” says deputy director Jim Kratsas.

You’ll be surprised: By Ford’s Eagle Scout sash. He was the only president ever to have earned the rank. You may also be surprised to discover that he was born with the name Leslie Lynch King Jr. but was adopted by his mother’s second husband, Gerald R. Ford Sr.

Director’s pick: The burglars’ tools used to break into the offices of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate building in 1972. (The resulting scandal led to President Nixon’s resignation and Ford’s presidency.) “You look at them and think, These simple devices brought down the most powerful person in the world,” says Kratsas.

FDR PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY & MUSEUM Hyde Park, N.Y. Don’t miss: The 7-foot-tall papier-mâché Roosevelt sphinx head given to him by journalists at the 1939 Gridiron Dinner. (He was often called a sphinx in the press.)

GEORGE W. BUSH PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY & MUSEUM Dallas, Texas Don’t miss: A 22-foot-tall twisted, charred steel beam from the World Trade Center.

Relevant today: A permanent exhibit dedicated to the election of 2000, in which close voting tallies led to a recount of votes in Florida and a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to halt further recounts.

Director’s pick: The Howard badge. Arlene Howard’s son George,

an off-duty Port Authority police officer, rushed to the World Trade Center when the planes hit and was killed when the towers fell. “His mother gave his badge to President Bush, who carried it with him every day,” says director Alan Lowe.

“He gave it to us at the last second.”

You’ll be surprised: That Franklin Delano Roosevelt collected stamps, books and more than 400 model ships, including a model of the USS Constitution he kept throughout his presidency.

Relevant today: Documents show that during World War II Roosevelt was struggling with how to handle refugees, who many thought could be a national security threat.

Director’s pick: The original draft of FDR’s “Day of Infamy” speech. Hours after FDR heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, he “leaned back in his chair, took a long drag on his cigarette and dictated the seven-minute speech nonstop,” says director Paul M. Sparrow.

2. Use our BYOP® SIM Activation Kit. Keep your 4G LTE† network and number.

Abilene, Kan. Don’t miss: An Enigma machine,

one of the cipher machines used by the Nazis to encode and decode sensitive information during World War II. When the British Navy captured an Enigma machine in 1941, it allowed the British to decipher the code and save thousands of lives.

3. Sew extra big pocket on pants.

You’ll be surprised: By Ike’s handwrit-

ten “In case of failure” note, to be released to the press if the invasion of Normandy failed. It reads in part: “The troops, the air and the navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”

Director’s pick: Tapes of Mamie Eisenhower’s interviews with Barbara Walters. “To listen to Mamie talking about living with Ike is fascinating,” says director Karl Weissenbach.

She doesn’t shy away from topics like her marriage and her loneliness after Ike’s death.

What you don’t know about Walk-In Tubs can hurt you.

The Walk-In Tub reinventedÉ

by Jacuzzi Inc. Myth #1- Walk-In Tubs are only for safety. While having a door on your tub can prevent bathroom falls, a great Walk-In Tub does so much more. Only Jacuzzi® Walk-In Tubs feature the patented PointPro® jets that provide the optimum mix of water and air to provide strong yet gentle hydrotherapy.

Myth #3- You have to pay for extra features.

Most Walk-In Tubs are base models, and as you tack on extra features the price goes up… a lot. Jacuzzi® Walk-In Tubs come standard with Air and Water Jets, Color Light Therapy, Aromatherapy, FastFill™ and FastDrain™ Technology and the only foot massage jets on the market. All for one low price.

Myth #4- Walk-In Tubs are expensive.

Moving into an Assisted Living Facility is expensive. So is a broken hip. Jacuzzi® Walk-In Tubs are a great investment and can even increase the value of your home. Quality craftsmanship and innovative design are worth every penny.

Myth #5- All Walk-In Tubs are the same.

They aren’t. And only one of them is made by the company that’s known worldwide for its bathtubs- the company that practically invented hydrotherapy.

Now that you know a little bit more about Walk-In Tubs, why not take the next step.

Call now for more information on the Walk-In tub that’s revolutionized the bathing industry.
