But while filming the offbeat gymnastics comedy — she stars as a washed-up hometown hero — she breathed easy in an Olympic warm-up suit. “It’s the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn,” adds Rauch, 35, of her wardrobe in the indie flick (out March 18), which she cowrote with husband Winston. “I want to market them because every woman should have one!” She wins Us over.

Rita Wilson used her passion to get through the pain. While undergoing treatment for breast cancer in 2015, she began pouring her heart into deeply introspective songs. “With songwriting, I learned I had to be 100 percent authentic about what’s going on to really get across my experience,” explains the singer and actress, 59. “I was starring in a Broadway play — but by day, I was going to doctors and having surgeries. It was a lot.” Those songs, including “Crying, Crying” and “Forgiving Me, Forgiving You,” wound up on her self-titled second album. “Music became more than an outlet,” she says. “It was revelatory.” LEADING MAN As for the disc’s many romantic numbers, the mom of sons Chet, 25, and Truman, 20, turned to an obvious inspiration: husband Tom…
