When Christie Brinkley was first discovered at age 19, "they said, 'By the time you're 30, you will be chewed up, spit out and forgotten,'" she recalls. Of course it's safe to say she far surpassed the traditional life span of a model. "The harder I work, the luckier I feel," Brinkley says, curling up on the couch at her sprawling Bridgehampton, N.Y., estate with her Maltipoo Chester and Labradoodle Maple Sugar. "And I have worked really hard for the past 40 years!" Now 62, Brinkley is still modeling and has parlayed her ageless all-American sex appeal into a lifestyle empire worth an estimated $80 million. "I like to share what I do so others can take care of themselves as well," says Brinkley, who markets Total Gym and Christie…

SPOTLIGHT ON Gina Rodriguez THE JANE THE VIRGIN STAR'S SECRETS FOR BEING BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT In May you cut your hair into a bob and shaved half of it off for a movie role. Are you used to it yet? I was in shock. I'm 31 and I'd had long hair for almost 20 years. I walked onto the set of Annihilation and put my hair up in a ponytail [and said], "I want you to cut it so I can donate it." And snip! They put the ponytail in my hand. I felt like the hair I was holding was the culmination of what people were identifying me with in the industry. After, I went on an incredible journey of rediscovering my beauty. Much of it was tumultuous…

Last time I was recognized At the drive-through at In-N-Out. All these dudes rushed out and gave me free hats and other In-N-Out stuff. I was actually really stoked. But the people in line behind me were very upset. Last indulgence I was training hard during Baywatch filming. Once, I finished a big scene, I went back to my hotel and ordered the entire menu. I hadn't had carbs in a month! I went nuts. Last time I freaked out I was filming with Bear Grylls, and we did a helicopter jump. I got legit freaked out—there was no hiding it! I'd never been so happy when I landed. Last time I sang out loud This morning, probably to Sublime or Third Eye Blind. I put music on when I'm…

The actor, 55, helps uncover a money-laundering scheme in his new film Infiltrator How did you gear up to play an FBI agent? I talked with [the real-life infiltrator] Bob Mazur about what you have to do to be an FBI surveillance guy and the emotional risks involved. You end up getting close to these people and then feel like you're betraying them. Was the role physically demanding? Yeah. I had to beat up a guy in the bathroom. It was a really small space, and the camera was close by. I had to break the mirror and punch the guy. I didn't want to hurt him! What does your perfect day off entail? Doing nothing is a beautiful thing. I love listening to music and hanging out with my…

ALL THE NEWS & BUZZ FROM HOLLYWOOD BEN AFFLECK & JENNIFER GARNER ONE YEAR LATER ON JUNE 30, 2015, BEN AFFLECK AND JENNIFER Garner revealed to People that they had "made the difficult decision to divorce." Now, a year later, they haven't filed divorce papers—and they're living together at their L.A. estate most of the time. They've downplayed reconciliation rumors, but what's really going on? "They're still figuring things out," says a Garner friend. "Ben still doesn't want the divorce, and he might actually get his way." The couple spent some of the spring together with their kids Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Sam, 4, in London and Europe, sharing a rented house in London while Affleck filmed Justice League. "She had the best time in Europe with Ben and…

EXCLUSIVE People EXCLUSIVE For 18 years, home was a ramshackle warren of tents behind her captors' Antioch, Calif., house. But if you think Jaycee Dugard, now 36, might have a PTSD thing about backyards, you're sorely mistaken. "Thinking that all backyards are bad is silly!" says Dugard, who was famously liberated along with her two daughters in 2009 and now owns a house—and yard—of her own. "Your home should feel like your sanctuary, and that is what mine is for me. Something terrible happened to me, but I'm not going to let it ruin the rest of my life by letting things like that bother me." Seven years after the end of a nightmare that began when convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy, abducted Jaycee, then 11,…

Details of the nightmare that unspooled on Halloween 1975 still come vividly to Dorthy Moxley: the yellow Schwinn bike her daughter Martha left on the porch of their Greenwich, Conn., home, the blue down parka the 15-year-old was wearing when she skipped out the door with friends the night before—and the morning knock at a neighbor's door after waking to discover Martha hadn't come home. "I walked over to the Skakels,'" Moxley says almost 41 years later. "Michael answered the door. He said she wasn't there. I remember he was barefoot." Within hours Martha's body—bludgeoned and stabbed with a broken golf club—was found hidden beneath a pine tree in her own yard. It would take 25 years before a suspect—Michael Skakel—was arrested and another two to see the Kennedy cousin…

When photographer Arthur Grace was assigned to shoot Robin Williams for Newsweek in 1986, he had no idea it would lead to a lifelong friendship. "We hit it off right from the start," says Grace, 69. Over the years he often photographed his famous friend, both onstage and off, and looked forward to the day "when I was 84 and Robin was 80 and we would reminisce and put together a book." It wasn't to be. "Hit hard" by Williams's suicide at 63 in 2014, Grace slowly came around to the idea of sharing the photos himself. He hopes Robin Williams: A Singular Portrait, 1986-2002 will give the world a glimpse of the "real Robin" he knew: a kind man who spoke to every homeless person he passed; a…

Stephen & Ayesha Curry BACKYARD BRUNCH The NBA superstar and the budding culinary guru dish on their love story. When Stephen and Ayesha Curry first started dating, his palate was admittedly limited. "He was a frozen pizza, chicken tenders, alfredo pasta type of guy," Ayesha says.
