In 2015 Jessica St.Clair, star of the USA comedy Playing House, was feeding her 23-month-old daughter Isobel breakfast when “I touched my own boob—I don’t know why,” she says, and discovered a lump in her breast.Within days the actress, now 40, was diagnosed with stage 2B estrogen positive breast cancer. “I remember thinking I will do anything and everything I need to do to stay alive for my daughter and make sure this has the least amount of impact on her life,” says St. Clair. As she underwent chemotherapy, radiation and a doublemastectomy, he comic—who created her femaledriven friendship series with collaborator and costar Lennon Parham— wrote the ordeal into their show. “I knew we were going to have to tell the story, because Lennon and I always write about…

University ofVirginia student OttoWarmbier, 22, died on June 19, just days after returning home to Cincinnati in a coma following 17 months of imprisonment in North Korea. In an emotional statement, his family said, “Unfortunately, the awful torturous mistreatment our son received at the hands of the North Koreans ensured that no other outcome was possible.”Warmbier had been sentenced to 15 years in prison for allegedly trying to steal a political propaganda poster from his Pyongyang hotel during a group tour in January 2016. Just over a year later he was released by North Korean officials, who told aU.S. official thatWarmbier had contracted botulism and slipped into the coma after taking a sleeping pill. Upon his return on June 13, doctors at the University of Cincinnati MedicalCenter discovered extensive loss…

PPrincess Diana gave few interviews in her 36 years, but she still found a way to ensure her voice was heard. In 1992 British journalist Andrew Morton published Diana: Her True Story, a headline-making biography that featured stunning revelations about Diana’s private anguish amid her crumbling marriage to Prince Charles. After Diana’s death in a 1997 car crash, Morton revealed his source: Diana, who secretly recorded her innermost thoughts and delivered the tapes to Morton through her friend Dr. James Colthurst. Now, 25 years later, the book is being released again, this time with a new foreword by Morton, excerpted exclusively here. “If Diana had enjoyed a full life, she probably would have written her own memoirs at some point,” writes Morton. “Sadly that is no longer possible. The testimony…

A Hero for All Kids It was almost two decades ago when Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha first fell in love with Flint, Mich., home to Michigan State University, where she attended medical school. “It’s a city that’s not hard to fall in love with,” she says. “The people are resilient, they’re proud and they’re grateful.” Which is why, in August 2015, when Hanna-Attisha—who had been a pediatrician in Flint since 2011—heard that lead might be contaminating the city’s water supply, she knew she had to do something. “My involvement started the minute I heard the word ‘lead,’ ” she says. Over the next few weeks Hanna-Attisha’s research would show that the lead levels in babies and children up to age 6 (the most vulnerable to the debilitating effects of lead poisoning,…

What do you love about your character Amy Brookheimer? There’s got to be something, right? [Laughs] I love her tenacity; it’s that alpha female thing. She just brings it, and everybody else be damned. You also joined the final season of AMC’s dramaHalt and Catch Fire.What drew you to it? It’s pure storytelling. It’s crazy the amount of brain power and human power that has gone through the tech world into how we live today. How do you like to spend a day off? At least one walk outside with my family and a good meal and taking advantage of New York City. A day that’s not planned so much that you can’t breathe. What has kept you grounded?

It’s hard to imagine that with over 50 years in entertainment Diana Ross hasn’t done it all. But as the icon, 73, prepares to headline the upcoming Essence Festival in New Orleans for the first time on June 30, she tells People she’s just as excited as her fans. “I so look forward to it,” says Ross, who’s currently on her Endless Memories nationwide tour. “What a special time it is forme in my life to still be able to enjoymusic and the beautiful audiences and all the love.” (Like People, Essence is a Time Inc. brand.) Ross—who notched her first No. 1 hit, “Where Did Our Love Go?” with the Supremes in 1964 before going on to an epic solo career—says that these days, “maturity brings a lot of…

Hewas, remembered a colleague, “the kind of guy you signed up to do journalism with.” Hewas also the kind you felt lucky to call your friend. And when People (and People Books) editor and former seasoned New York Daily News reporter Larry Sutton died on June 17, he left a galaxy of the lucky. Throughout his four-decade career—he began as a stringer for the News in the early 1970s—he thrived under deadline pressures that couldmake others wilt. Hewas a virtuoso with virtue who wrotewith clarity, speed and the same unfailing, true-north grace and good humor thatmade his friends, in high places and low, legion. Among the tributes that filled Sutton’s Facebook timeline to overflowingwas one froma fellow castmember of the New York press fraternity’s Inner Circle satirical revue, for which…

Ovarian cancer is something that is very close to my heart. Two years ago my mother lost her best friend to the disease. This woman was like an aunt to me. It was devastating to watch firsthand. I first got involved with the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance through their annual Super Saturday fund-raiser. I went as a supporter, and then they asked me to be on the committee and get more involved. One hundred percent of the proceeds from this event go to prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The thing about ovarian cancer is that it is a very silent killer. It’s hard to detect it, and by the time you do, it’s often too late. I think it is extremely important, especially if you have a family history, that…

Crazy InLove For a long while Jay Z and Beyoncé were the proud parents of one adorable kid, regulars at Brooklyn pizza joints and Knicks games and firmly in an Empire State of mind. But over the past year and a half, the R&B royals and 5-year-old daughter Blue Ivy have gradually shifted their lives west to Los Angeles. Leaving behind their 8,300-sq.-ft. Tribeca penthouse and a slew of sweet Manhattan memories—Beyoncé gave birth to Blue at a swanky Upper East Side hospital— the former New York mainstays made the change for one very important reason: their expanding family. After setting Instagram ablaze in February with a record-setting post announcing her pregnancy, the “Formation” singer, 35, and the rapper, 47, have now welcomed twins to their family, multiple sources confirm…

It’s got “G and F” entwined in it, “Gladys” and “Fred”—they were their nicknames. I walked into this man’s office one day and said, “Oh, what’s in that parcel?” He said, “Oh, you shouldn’t look at that.” I opened it, and there was a bracelet, and I said, “I know where this is going.” I was devastated.

For June 26, 2017 Michelle Carter My condolences to the family of Conrad Roy III. I couldn’t believe one human could encourage another to commit suicide. Horrific.

2MEGHAN MARKLE Once upon a time, an American TV star fell in love with a handsome prince.

Not since Grace Kelly has an American captured the heart of a true prince—and this time Markle is flipping the royal script. Proudly ambitious and independent, she is no fairy-tale princess.

For a man with a knack for crafting chart-toppers, Jack Antonoff is a surprisingly retiring fellow. “The biggest complaint my friends and family have is, ‘You never say anything—you just wanna watch Frasier!’ And I do,” he says. Onstage he may sing infectious hits. In the studio he may make millions for fellow pop stars. And yes, he lives in Brooklyn with Girls creator Lena Dunham. But really, he’s happiest on the couch, binge-watching ’90s television. As he puts it: “I joke I do better sharing with a few million people than I do with my immediate family.” Somehow, the soft-spoken 33-yearold fromWoodcliffe Lake, N.J., has thrived in a field that favors extroverts. In 2013 “We Are Young,” his song with the quirkily named and punctuated band fun., became a…
