Jimmy Stewart “I was, in many ways, far happier in the service than I was at any time in my life,” reflected Jimmy of his time in the Army Air Corps’ 445th Bomb Group, in which he flew 20 combat missions during WWII. “Closeness and camaraderie with all those wonderful guys…Feeling I was part of a whole, part of a divine scheme, with an obligation to do my best…It wasn’t playacting then. I was living it.” Bea Arthur Although she’d later understate her service, this Emmy winner became one of the first members of the U.S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve back in 1943. “I heard that enlistments for women were open, so decided the only thing to do was to join,” said Bea. Tom Selleck “I’m a veteran. And I’m…

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW In 2001, the producers of Scrubs were looking for a “John C. McGinley type” to play sarcastic attending physician Dr. Perry Cox. “I auditioned five times to play the John C. McGinley type,” John C. McGinley tells Closer. “That always seemed curious to me.” Of course, he eventually got the job, and John co-starred on the popular hospital-set comedy for nine seasons. This month, John stars in Holidazed, a limited comedy series from Hallmark that follows five families who live in the same Oregon cul-de-sac as they experience all the joy and stress of the holiday season. “Each house is a study in dysfunction around the holidays,” he explains. “Our house is just insane.

CLOSER STAFF PICKS Cross Purpose After Morgan Freeman’s turns in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, as well as Tyler Perry in Alex Cross, you may think there’s not much of James Patterson’s famed detective to delve into. But actor Aldis Hodge disagrees. In the new series Cross, he’s taken the mantle of the titular cop and forensic psychologist, who faces off with a serial killer terrorizing Washington, D.C.. Yet this isn’t based on any of Patterson’s bestsellers — leaving Aldis to track down unexplored aspects of the character. “We get to see the cop. Not only that, we get to see the father, we get to see the family man, the friend,” he says. “We get to see the vulnerable person that may not have all the…

Nearly 30 years ago, broadcaster Deborah Norville stepped onto the set at Inside Edition for the first time — and she’s been there ever since. “Inside Edition is 37 years old,” she tells Closer. “I’ve been a journalist for 45 years; I will celebrate my 37th wedding anniversary in December. So we’re into longevity here!” Being conscious of the big picture in her life and career has paid off for Deborah, 66, who married Swedish businessman Karl Wellner in 1987. The couple are the parents of three adult children, Kyle, Mikaela and Niki. “I take the long view when bumps in the road come up,” Deborah says. “It would be satisfying and maybe easier to [fight] some things, but is that productive in the long view?” Deborah recalls finding herself…

When Margarita Cansino entered the world on Oct. 17, 1918, her father wasn’t happy. “I was terribly disappointed,” said dancer Eduardo Cansino. “I had wanted a boy. What could I do with a girl?” As Rita Hayworth, she would become a favorite pinup of soldiers during World War II and one of the most popular actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age, with films including Cover Girl, My Gal Sal and Gilda. To get there, she endured a tragic childhood and the grooming of several unscrupulous men. “It’s easy to say that she was a victim,” Adrienne McLean, author of Being Rita Hayworth: Labor, Identity, and Hollywood Stardom, tells Closer. “But she had a lot more strength than we like to think she had.” She needed it. Eduardo, who had immigrated to…

GET VACCINATED “If there’s one constant every flu season, it’s that the single best way to protect against seasonal flu is to get vaccinated,” say the Centers for Disease Control. Since flu viruses mutate each season, it’s important to get the new vaccine each and every year. WASH UP “Washing your hands is the first and best defense to protect yourself from germs,” explain doctors at the Nebraska Methodist Health System. “One study found that regular hand washing can reduce respiratory illness transmission by more than 20 percent. Rinse your hands and lather with soap, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water aren’t available, use an alcohol-based hand rub containing at least 60 percent alcohol.” STAY FIT Per experts from Emory University, “getting adequate sleep, maintaining balanced…

“If you start looking ahead, you miss the bits that are happening now.” —Judi Dench SHE MAY be a dame, but after living off rations in WWII England, Judith Olivia Dench is quick to call herself “very un-diva-ish.” While she grew up “unbelievably happy” with a family who loved the theater, she initially had no interest in acting. Rather, “I always wanted to be a theater designer.” And yet, she’d eventually find her calling. “[And] it’s a calling. You’re very lucky if you have one, because there are people who don’t have that passionate urge to do something, you know? A lot of people are in things they don’t ever feel that they were cut out for or they enjoy.” And from her professional debut in 1957 as Ophelia in Hamlet,…
