WALTER SCOTT ASKS...

Does Headey worry about her GOT character being killed off? Go to Parade.com/lena to find out.

LENA HEADEY

HBO’s Game of Thrones season six, which began April 24, is looking to be a vengeful one for Headey, 42, who has been twice nominated for an Emmy for her role as the cunning Cersei Lannister, Queen Regent of Westeros.

Cersei’s not the nicest woman. How do you relate to someone so mean? I don’t think she is that cruel. I don’t play her to be hugely disliked, so I don’t see her as purely evil. She’s a ferocious parent, and she’s dealing with a certain madness of her upbringing. Ultimately, she’s a survivor. This season’s a little different. I may change my tune after this one.

What has been the hardest scene for you to film? I find the hard ones are where you have to remember crazy names and places. It’s like a [messed] up version of Shakespeare. Pronouncing everything correctly is quite a lot of pressure.

What has life taught you? As the years roll by, I’m learning to take it with more humor. As you get older, you look back on your youth and you’re like, my God, you had no idea, really and truly, how great it is to be healthy or to just be yourself. The payoff of getting older is I look in the mirror less, but I have more of a laugh.

What besides acting are you passionate about? I’m passionate about my life. I love my family. I love my friends. I’m vastly a champion of good humanity in this world that sometimes feels like it’s crumbling in places.

I’m a giant yoga fan. I like kindness, I’m partial to good wine, l like a party and some good food.

What has Courteney Cox been doing since Cougar Town was canceled last year?

—Ricky D., Asheville, N.C. A: Just in time for Mother’s Day, the former Friends star, 51, is heading to the big screen in Mothers and Daughters, opening May 6, about a photographer who documents motherhood in its many varieties. As for a return to television, Cox is producing and starring in a pilot for Fox, Charity Case, in which she plays a widow who discovers that running her late billionaire husband’s philanthrophy is less glamorous than she thought it would be.

What’s next for Jesse Tyler Ferguson? I love him on Modern Family.

—Janice M., Las Cruces, N.M. A: Ferguson, 40, voices the Shangri Llama in Ice Age: Collison Course, in theaters July 22.

But he is spending this summer’s Modern Family hiatus on Broadway starring in Fully Committed. He plays all the roles—and there are 40 of them—in the play about an out-of-work actor who takes reservations at a trendy New York restaurant. “I’m using so many different intonations in my voice,” the five-time Emmy nominee says. “It’s like singing. It can be really challenging to make that believable.”

Iron

Man of

Robert Downey Jr. made his acting debut at the age of 5 and has never looked back. Today, at 51, the Oscar-nominated actor is best known as Iron Man, a role he’s played in six movies based on Marvel Comics characters, including the new Captain America: Civil War, opening May 6.

Here are five facts about the native New Yorker.

1. He studied ballet in London as a preteen.

2. While trying to make it as an actor, he bussed tables, sold shoes and performed as a piece of “living art” at an underground nightclub.

3. Downey’s breakthrough performance was as the drug-addicted Julian in Less Than Zero (1987).

4. He was the first Saturday Night Live cast member to be nominated for an Oscar in a Leading Role category (for 1992’s Chaplin).

5. Sting and Billy Idol performed at Downey’s 2005 wedding to Susan Levin.

Sunday With...

The guru of all things tidy talks about letting go.

By M.B. Roberts

W

ith her international best-selling books, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy, Marie Kondo inspired us to toss unnecessary items, keeping only what makes us happy.

This spring the new mom and organizing pro known for respecting her socks is introducing a KonMari app for iPhone based on her Japanese decluttering method.

What is your idea of a perfect Sunday? I wake up in the morning, having no appointments or tasks for the day. I follow my inspiration and go wherever I want to go, eat whatever I want to eat, do whatever I want to do. I allow myself to do only things that spark joy.

Do you believe everyone should rest on Sundays or is that the day to get things done? Using Sundays, national holidays and paid vacation time to tidy is highly productive— Happy Socks: Fold and stack (no balling up!) so they can rest.

a great investment. One of my most important tips for tidying is that you should finish it all at once, as quickly as possible while still doing a good job. After you finish, you will be able to spend your future Sundays in a great way, at home surrounded only by your favorite items.

Have you always been a tidy person? I have been interested in tidying since I was a young girl, when I would obsessively study my mother’s housewives’ magazines.

Why do you think this topic strikes such a chord with so many people?

Americans in particular? I think most people want to live a tidying lifestyle; they just don’t know how to begin, and they don’t always believe that they can become permanently tidy. People say that my KonMari Method has an impact on them that they can see, since I ask them to gather all their items and make a big pile, like a mountain, before beginning to choose what to keep. This process creates photogenic scenes;

What is the biggest challenge you face when first working with someone in their home? The biggest challenge is overcoming client anxiety that he or she has too much stuff and can never get done with the tidying job. I teach them that by using my “Spark Joy” test they will see the giant pile of stuff become only a big pile, and then a medium pile, and so on.

Number of garbage bags filled the first time Kondo decluttered her room in junior high

Tidying The subject (surprise!) of her university thesis

Photos No. 1 item people balk at discarding

Surprising How do we know when someKondo Keepsake thing brings us joy? Hold the A 10-year-old T-shirt object against your body, preferably featuring a green “roly-poly” cartoon as close to your heart as possible, mascot named Kiccoro and if you feel a little pulse (“forest child”) through your body, then you know that is a spark of joy. I know it sounds odd, but if you try it, you may be surprised at the result.

What does your home look like? My home is the place where I feel most comfortable. My husband [photographer Takumi Kawahara] and I live with our new baby and we are surrounded by objects that spark joy in us.

Has your family mastered the art of tidying up? My husband is actually very tidy. When we were married and moved in together, he only brought a few boxes of stuff with him. And even though our baby is still quite young and her stuff doesn’t get all over the house, when she is about 3 years old I will begin to teach her how to fold things and give her basic tidying information. I hope that she will see how much her mother and father enjoy their tidy spaces, and she will want to be tidy also.

THE REVOLUTIONARY

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

In movies from the ’30s and ’40s, actors spoke with an accent that sounded like a combination of British and American English. Has the American accent changed that much since then?

—Michael T., Fairhope, Ala.

No. That oh-so-grand accent, jokingly called Mid-Atlantic English (meaning that the speaker was born halfway between the U.S. and England), was an affectation adopted by Hollywood and encouraged in American finishing schools. Katharine Hepburn was one of its greatest declaimers, radiating high society with every word she spoke. The faux accent disappeared after World War II, along with a rejection of the class distinction it represented.

Which of the following names does not belong: (a) October, (b) the Dead Sea, (c) Greenland, (d) the West Indies or (e) Li’l Abner?

—Judy Miller, Willoughby, Ohio

Wrap your brain around this one, readers! The answer appears in the next paragraph.

October is the 10th month, not the eighth, as its name implies.

Greenland is mostly covered with an ice sheet and is not at all green. The West Indies are in the Caribbean, not off the coast of India. And Li’l Abner is big, not small. So the answer is (b) the Dead Sea, which is really, really “dead.” Due to its extremely high salt content, no plants or animals can live in it. Tourists thrive there, however!

EUROPEAN WRINKLE PILL! This will change the way you look at “Anti-Wrinkle” creams... forever.

-by Tiffany Strobel

H

ave you ever noticed how topical cosmetic skin creams always talk about improving the “appearance” of the skin or “visibly” reducing wrinkles? They all contain wussy “appearance” qualifiers, because none of them will claim they change the skin’s structure (not even Estée Lauder or La Mer with its $300 wrinkle cream, just to mention two). That’s why a revolutionary new “anti-wrinkle” compound is causing such a stir.

This oral compound has the power to make your skin younger. Not younger looking... actually younger.

We’re talking about rebuilding your skin, making it thicker and more dense (think less likely to wrinkle and sag), even decreasing wrinkles... not merely the “look” of wrinkles, but literally decreasing their depth, thereby actually smoothing the skin as it improves the underlying cellular matrix. There’s not a single cosmetic moisturizer, serum, or cream out there that will make those kinds of claims.

“ This incredible oral compound has the power to make your skin younger. It won’t just look younger… it will actually be younger.”

UniLastin is completely revolutionary because it works systemically (throughout the entire body), which means it’s able to improve the skin everywhere, from the face, neck, and décolleté to crepey arms, loose abdominal skin... even buttock sag and elbow wrinkles. It’s sort of like a facelift for your whole body: it works from the end of your nose to the tips of your toes. This unique, total body, anti-wrinkle complex is called UniLastin,® and it’s available at Ulta stores, or direct from the manufacturer at UniLastin.com or by calling 1-800-705-6214 (promo code EUROPILL20 gives you free shipping†). About $79.

11 Sneaky Hacks for

Better Health C

CARING FOR THE CAREGIVER

By Lisa Mulcahy

aring for others can be equal parts rewarding and exhausting. If caring for yourself has fallen way down on your priority list, you’re not alone.

In a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) survey, more than half of caregivers said their health had declined since caregiving began.

And more than a third said they had no time for themselves. That’s the charm of these little health tweaks: They don’t take a lot of time but they can help you stay sharp, feel happier and have more energy.

2. Drink beet juice. New research shows that adding a glass to your diet can improve physical stamina. Beet juice is a good source of the molecule nitrate, which helps the heart work less when you’re moving. After just 15 days of consuming a daily glass, study subjects found they could exercise longer.

3. Be still. “Meditation is a

1. Watch a cat video on YouTube.

And don’t feel guilty—it’s not a waste of time!

A new study from Indiana University found that the positive emotion you get from watching those adorable felines actually boosts emotional energy. When you tackle any task afterward, you’ll work harder and more efficiently.

great way to help boost your mental energy,” says Michael George, a Los Angeles– based health industry pro and trainer whose clients have included Julianne Moore and Reese Witherspoon. “People think it’s complicated, but it’s so easy—you don’t even

need a mantra. Just sit down in a quiet spot for 10 minutes a day, and reflect by focusing on your breathing—simply inhaling in and out.

That’s it! When you just breathe, your mind is completely in the present moment, which gives it the rest it needs to rejuvenate.

Do this for 28 days, and you’ll feel a huge difference.”

Find what you need 4. Pump up the bass.

Looking to lift your mood with some great music?

Northwestern University researchers report that the higher the bass level is in a song, the more mentally charged and powerful you’ll feel as you listen on your headphones. One of the most energizing songs study subjects listened to? “We Will Rock You” by Queen!

5. Go for a jog. Scientists at the University of Montreal Research Center report that running releases the mental hormone dopamine. As this chemical courses through your system, you feel happy and energized.

Be healthy.

Get rewarded.

™

6. Grab a cup of joe. Samuele Marcora, Ph.D., an expert on fatigue and endurance and director of research at the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kent, U.K., recommends consuming a moderate amount of coffee—200 mg or less (that’s about 12 ounces)—to boost stamina before physical exertion. “Caffeine enhances your performance because it makes your brain more efficient at producing the signals that make your muscles contract,” he says.

7. Develop your willpower.

Want to exercise longer? Work out when you’re tired—it’ll pay off in the long run, as you can “train” your mind not to tell your body to quit. “Schedule at least one moderate-intensity/ long-duration training session a week after a long day at work, when you’re mentally fatigued,” says Marcora. “I know it’s hard, but if you repeat doing this, it may significantly improve your endurance by making your brain more resistant to fatigue.”

d to live a little better 8. Take a walk down memory lane. A few minutes of letting their minds wander to happy, nostalgic thoughts before starting a challenging mental task—such as filling out paperwork—gave subjects a burst of positive energy that made accomplishing their work easier, according to a Cornell University study.

9. Enjoy an (occasional) steak.

Carnitine, which is plentiful in red meat, was found in a Duke University study to help older people develop better stamina when performing household chores like vacuuming. Regardless of your age or tasks, more energy is a plus. Carnitine is also found in fish, chicken and dairy; choose lean and low-fat options when you do indulge.

10. Get your snooze on. “Your brain cleans off all the weights of your day, and reenergizes when you’re asleep,” says fitness expert George. “We’re in a sleep recession— the CDC says it’s an epidemic—so grabbing five and a half or six hours just isn’t going to do the trick.” Aim for seven to eight hours a night, and stay consistent—you’ll feel more energized within a few nights.

11. Go green. Rush University researchers recommend adding one to two servings of vitamin K-packed dark leafy vegetables to your daily diet—specifically, spinach, kale, collards and mustard greens. These veggies boost mental energy and ability; study subjects who ate them showed the cognitive ability of those 11 years younger than their true age. That’s good brain food for caregivers and those they care for.

Get vaccinated today Shingles and pneumonia have serious consequences, but getting vaccinated can help keep you healthy.

Stop by the pharmacy.
