After serving nearly 22 years in prison, Jonathan Schmitz— who fatally shot Scott Amedure in 1995 after a taping of The Jenny Jones Show(People,March 27, 1995)—was granted parole this month by the Michigan Department of Corrections. Schmitz, now 47, and Amedure taped an episode of the show about secret crushes in which Amedure, 32, revealed he had a crush on Schmitz. Schmitz, who was not gay, said he was not told his admirer was another man. Three days after filming the segment (which never aired), Schmitz killed Amedure and was later sentenced to 25 to 50 years for second-degree murder. A separate $25 million civil judgment won by Amedure’s family against the show was later overturned. Follow us on Twitter @people Like us on Facebook facebook.com/peoplemag Follow us on…

YOLANDA HADID In 2010 Yolanda Hadid’s health began to mysteriously deteriorate. Muscle weakness, memory loss, burning joint pain and more puzzling symptoms plagued her daily life. She was initially diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. “I didn’t really buy it,” says Hadid, 53. “Intuitively I knew something was really wrong.” A year later she wed music producer David Foster and moved into his Hollywood home with her three children, models Gigi, Bella and Anwar. She signed on to star inThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but her health declined, forcing her to spend 22 hours a day in bed. “I’m such a fighter, but I had to surrender,” she says.

My beauty philosophy is... Less is more.When Iwas younger, I thought I had to use a lot ofmakeup to find beauty. Then I realized that makeup is about highlightingwhat is already beautiful. You don’t need to cover up. I didn’t love my red hair as a kid... Because being a redheadwas unique, and I think as children, we’re programmed to think thatwhat’s different about us is bad. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that what’s different about us is whatmakes us special. I wish I could go back in time and tell myyounger self,“What you dislike now, you’re going to embrace.” Red lips have become my go-to look because... Itmakesmefeel powerful. I don’t know why, but I’ve been wearing it since Iwas 18. There’s something so Old Hollywood and…

Audrey Hepburn Audrey has always been my style icon! She is timeless. Julie Swift via people.com Thank you for the wonderful cover and loving article about Audrey Hepburn.

JERRY LEWIS 1926-2017 The death of legendary comedian and filmmaker Jerry Lewis on Aug. 20 inspired a volley of tributes from Hollywood. “I am because he was,” said Jim Carrey, acknowledging that his crazy brand of Ace Ventura slapstick wouldn’t have existed without Lewis’s rubber-limbed, rubber-faced, even rubber-voiced performances in classics like The Bellhop (1960) andThe Nutty Professor (1963). Wrote Samuel L. Jackson: “He’ll keep ’em laffin in the ever after!” The 91-year-old Lewis—who died at home in Las Vegas surrounded by loved ones including his second wife, SanDee, 66, and their daughter Danielle, 25—would have immodestly agreed. “I’m a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius,” he once said. One of the most popular entertainers of the post-WorldWar II era, he was an actor, writer, director and inventor (he created…
