As the longtime face of Dior J’adore, Charlize Theron has bathed in gold, swung from the ceiling and mingled with Marilyn Monroe (via CGI) for the perfume’s commercials. Now that the classic scent comes in a new water-based version, it has a cool campaign to go with it (this time she’s in a shimmering pool). Here Theron, 47, chats about fragrance, hair changes and chilling out. What do you love about the new iteration of the iconic scent? How fresh and natural it feels on the skin, since it’s formulated with water, not alcohol. The addition of neroli and orange blossom is an amazing touch. In other beauty news, you debuted a darker hair color this summer. How did your daughters [Jackson, 10, and August, 7] react? My girls…

then & now! Sixteen years after Luke Macfarlane’s breakthrough role on ABC’s Brothers & Sisters as half of one of the first same-sex couples on a network drama, he’s back breaking ground in Bros, a rom-com written by costar Billy Eichner. “The thing that I just love hearing from people who’ve seen the movie is how funny it is and that it’s lovely to see a gay movie where a couple has a happy ending,” says Macfarlane, 42, who is gay. “We don’t get a lot of those.” The Juilliard-trained Canadian, who has starred in more than a dozen movies for the Hallmark Channel, remains close with many former costars, including Matthew Rhys, who played his husband on Brothers & Sisters. “He’s one of my favorite actors that I’ve ever worked…

When it premiered on Sept. 17, 1972, M*A*S*H, the comedy-drama series following a team of American doctors and support staff stationed in South Korea during the Korean War, was a risky venture. Would its often-dark humor connect with an audience divided over the real-life conflict in Vietnam? Eleven seasons later, when its last episode aired, more than 100 million viewers tuned in, making it still the most-watched TV finale of all time. “I’m not sure we ever knew what kind of impact it was having,” says Alan Alda, 86, who starred as Capt. Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce. “It took a while to catch on, lingering near the bottom of the ratings for the first season. We got used to coming to work, doing the best shows we could and not…

In the painful days after her 35-year-old husband died of brain cancer eight years ago, Nora McInerny discovered the unspoken rules for grieving: “You have to be sad enough that if somebody sees you out and about, they don’t think, ‘I guess she doesn’t give a crap.’ But you can’t be too sad for too long.” McInerny, now 39, tried to walk that unofficial but widely held line, giving herself a year to mourn her husband, Aaron, before moving on. “You think if you hit the one-year mark when you know people’s sympathies are going to expire, you’ll be fine. Unfortunately you’re not.” The loss, which left her a single mother of a toddler, combined with a miscarriage and her father’s death just weeks before, was too much to overcome…

Last Time I Danced Probably to “Baby Shark” or “Wheels on the Bus” because I have a toddler who loves music and now knows how to command Alexa to play a song. She’ll take anyone’s hand, pull them into the middle of the room and say “Dance!” Last Moment of Nostalgia Recently it was very hot, and it made me long for Christmas. I grew up on the East Coast, where the air can be kind of cold and sharp, but it invigorates you. I was definitely feeling nostalgic for childhood holiday time. Last Perfect Day Off Just being able to cook and enjoy a meal with my daughter. The other day I took her to get ice cream for the first time, and seeing her enjoy her first ice-cream…

In her new book You Should Sit Down for This, former Sister, Sister star Tamera Mowry-Housley, 44, shows her vulnerable side as she details her story of growth, healing and humor. In the memoir, you dive into child stardom. How would you describe it? It was hard. I thank God I had my [twin] sister [Tia Mowry, her Sister, Sister costar], because there was a point in our lives when we were damned if we did, damned if we didn’t. We always had to fight. You also reveal that you once babysat the Olsen twins. It was so much fun! They had to have been 7 or 8. So sweet, so kind. I remember all they wanted was matzo ball soup. We ran into them at 20, 21, and…

What appealed to you about the role of Nicky? She always gets back up when knocked down, and she is very protective of her family. You nailed that Texas accent—how did you perfect it?

Nicky’s car was so grand and luxurious—it became a nice place [to go] if I needed a moment’s quiet from a very busy set.…

“I kicked ass onscreen way before I did so in real life,” Geena Davis writes in her new book, Dying of Politeness: A Memoir. Even while growing up in a small Massachusetts town, where she towered over her classmates (she’s 6 feet tall), Davis, 66, knew she was destined to be an actress. “That was never in question,” she writes. She moved to New York to pursue that dream, launching her career with Tootsie, winning an Oscar just six years later for 1988’s The Accidental Tourist and starring in celebrated films such as Beetlejuice and The Fly. But it wasn’t until 1991’s Thelma & Louise that she got the chance to play “someone I desperately wanted to be—a total badass” and started finding her inner strength. With new confidence she…

SAVING BEES BY BOOSTING POLLINATION Anna DeVolld, 17 Anna DeVolld was in eighth grade when she learned bees were dying in large numbers because of pesticides and loss of habitat. “Pollinators are responsible for over 75 percent of food crops and 90 percent of all flowering plants,” explains the high school senior and lifelong gardener from Soldotna, Alaska. “I set out to help people realize we need to protect them.” In the past four years, through her Promote Our Pollinators educational program, DeVolld has spread her message with curriculum kits in local schools and libraries and distributed more than 2,000 “pollinator packs”—pots containing soil, seedlings and care instructions—resulting in an estimated 12,000 new flowers. “It’s amazing to see the difference,” says DeVolld. “I want to inspire the next generation to…

1 Curtain Bangs With a new season underway, now’s the perfect time to freshen up your cut with some fringe. A longer length and softer ends make Anne Hathaway’s version modern, says pro Jacob Rozenberg, who styled this look. His tip: Give bangs a quick spritz of dry shampoo for a movable finish. 2 Fluffy Brows To take your natural look up a notch, brush this wax through brows in an upward motion, suggests pro Michele Holmes. If your brows need a volume boost (the less you have to fill in your arches, the more authentic the style), apply a serum like this one between makeup applications to encourage growth. 3 Rosy Lips A creamy matte texture makes this classic color feel of the moment. Makeup artist Jen Tioseco slightly overlined Vanessa Hudgens’s lips…

Asked how he’s doing amid his wildly successful debut tour, Lil Nas X references a childhood favorite. “I feel like I’m in the Hannah Montana movie,” jokes the Atlanta-bred rapper (born Montero Lamar Hill), 23. “Lil Nas X is helping Montero become more himself.” In his new “Courage to Be Real” campaign video for Coach, Lil Nas X, who came out as gay in 2019, shows how he had to break barriers to become the person he is today. “This is a new chapter,” he says. “It’s the end of the beginning.” How is style a form of self-expression for you? At my concert in Atlanta [on Sept. 27], I was really nervous about going out onstage in front of my family and everybody in my cute little Coach…

A Real-Life Elle Woods Empowers Female Attorneys DALLAS Attorney Kathleen Martinez started her own immigration law firm after she was told by a male boss she should dress less colorfully and make him coffee. (She refused.) Now the mom of two, 31—known as a real-life Elle Woods, the character played by Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde—is inspiring women on TikTok with her humorous, empowering videos at @attorneymartinez. “I did not expect the massive reaction from other legal professionals,” says Martinez (pictured with her husband, Alejandro, and members of her firm). “We’ve had upward of 2,000 women ask to work for us because they feel like they don’t fit in.” As for that male boss who fired her? He reached out for a job. “I told him we need some help…

With his signature braids and hit song considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop anthem of the 1990s, Coolio, who died of a suspected heart attack in Los Angeles on Sept. 28 at age 59, was the perfect embodiment of his stage name. “He was a real cool guy,” says his longtime friend Doug Rasheed, cowriter and producer of “Gangsta’s Paradise.” “Serious but, at the same time, the kind of guy who was going to have you laughing.” Before he was Coolio, he was Artis Leon Ivey Jr. Born in August 1963 in Compton, Calif., to a single mother, he was a bookish, asthmatic child who became a teenage gang member. In his 20s he worked as a volunteer firefighter and overcame drug addiction before releasing his first…

“She was always so determined. No matter what happened to her. Being fired. Being forgotten. A single white female raising two babies by herself. On welfare and food stamps. She never gave up. So think about that and apply it to every stinking part of life, including death. With the same determination she had to live, she was determined to die.” For Wynonna Judd, remembering her mom, Naomi, five months after her death at age 76—from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a long struggle with severe depression—is full of heartbreak and mystery. “I can’t quite wrap my head around it, and I don’t know that I ever will—that she left the way she did,” she says. “That’s how baffling and cunning mental illness is. You have to make peace with the…

In the world of exotic-snake breeding, Ben Renick was a rock star. Customers loved the unique color combinations and patterns he created in different species of snakes at Renick Reptiles in rural New Florence, Mo., and his designer pets sometimes sold for upwards of $100,000. “Ben was doing stuff nobody had ever seen before,” says his friend and fellow breeder David Levinson. “He had a lot of ‘world’s firsts’ over the years.” While Ben enjoyed his work, he also knew it could be dangerous—and he was careful handling deadly serpents. But on June 8, 2017, it looked as if his precautions had failed. Ben’s wife, Lynlee, called Ben’s brother Sam to say she’d found her husband facedown in a pool of blood. Sam raced to the breeding lab and reached…

Robert De Niro and Christian Bale’s new comedic mystery Amsterdam has an A-list cast, including Margot Robbie, Chris Rock and Taylor Swift. But according to Bale, “Nancy is the star.” Nancy? That would be De Niro’s Chihuahua-Yorkie mix, who has a cameo. Adds De Niro nonchalantly: “I told her she can come.” It’s a sight to behold: the Raging Bull and the former Batman trading quips about a pooch. The easy chemistry between the men, who first worked together in Amsterdam director David O. Russell’s 2013 dramedy American Hustle, is just as evident onscreen in Amsterdam (in theaters Oct. 7). De Niro, 79, a dad of six, and Bale, 48, a father of two with his wife, Sibi Blazic, let loose with People. When did you two first meet? ROBERT DE NIRO It was on the set of American…
