Fifteen years after the ultimate millennial teen series aired its final episode, the cast—including James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson—reconvened for Entertainment Weekly’s Hollywood’s Greatest Untold Stories issue. “We’ve all sort of seen each other over the years but not everybody all together,” says Holmes, 39.Ofwhy the drama, about friends in fictional Capeside, Mass., resonated with so many fans, former showrunner Greg Berlanti (Love, Simon) tells the magazine, “I think if people want a perfect snapshot of what itwas like to comeof age in the ’90s …Dawson’s will always be a time capsule.” Williams, 37, adds, “When something affects you while you were growing up, it kind of stays in there forever.”…

“The Middle” singer Maren Morris and singer songwriter Ryan Hurd have tied the knot: The pair exchanged handwritten vows in front of family and friends March 24 in downtown Nashville. The Grammy-winning bride, 27, walked down the aisle in Gucci heels and a custom dress by local designer Cavanagh Baker—a “modern version” of the gown her mother, Kellie, wore in 1989, she says: “She was a badass and had this short wedding dress.” The groom, 31, wore a blue Joseph Abboud suit. The newlyweds—who first met while cowriting the song “Last Turn Home” for Tim McGraw in 2013—took their romance public in December 2015 before Hurd popped the question last July. “We’re super-excited,” Morris previously told People of spending their lives together.…

EMMA GONZALEZ, 18 Gonzalez, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., spoke and stood in silence onstage for about 6 minutes and 20 seconds—the same amount of time it took a shooter to kill 17 victims inside her school on Feb. 14. “Everyone who was there understands,” she said, as tears streamed down her face. “No one could comprehend the devastating aftermath or how far this would reach or where this would go… . Fight for your lives before it’s someone else’s job.” ‘WE MUST STAND FOR THOSE WE LOST AND FIX THE WORLD THAT BETRAYED THEM’—CAMERON KASKY NAOMI WADLER, 11 Traveling to D.C. from her Alexandria, Va., hometown, Wadler said she spoke for “the African-American girls whose stories don’t make the front page of…

A day before Roseanne Barr’s People photo shoot near her farm on the island of Hawaii, her boyfriend of 15 years, composer Johnny Argent, found her absorbed in a less glamorous activity. “Most millionaires don’t scrub their own floors at home all day,” he observed. But Barr, 65, likes getting her hands dirty. “Nobody is going to do your work for you,” says the comedian and firebrand. “You have to do it yourself.” That’s Barr’s climb to stardom in a nutshell: the scrapper who went from struggling stand-up comedian to creator of one TV’s greatest sitcoms. She has sometimes risked self-destruction by saying exactly what is on her mind. But with the March 27 revival of Roseanne as a limited ABC series, she seems to have it all: a…

TYRA Oh, Lordy … that Milan Fashion week. There were eight designers who didn’t want to hire me this season. I had been the It Girl, but now, one-too-many visits to McDonald’s between shoots, and I was about to be the Out Girl. I burst into tears. “Mommy, OK… um OK,” I cried. “I’m gonna skip meals … I’ll work out …” Mama grabbed my shoulders and shook me like salad dressing. “Stop it!” she shouted. “This is nothing to cry about, Miss Tyra I-worked-like-hell-to-get-here Banks. You know what we’re gonna do?” “What?” I sniffled. “We’re gonna go eat pizza.” CAROLYN Let me tell you, I did not want Tyra to fall into the trap of thinking she had to live up to some silly idea of the “perfect”…

What drew you to the movie? [The main character] Barbara is such a brave little woman. The bonus was working with a very young cast of women. Why did you launch BESE, your Latino-focused media brand? Highlighting stories of underrepresented communities is important. We need role models to be inspired. Did becoming a mom to twins Bowie and Cy, 3, and Zen, 1, make that more important to you? Before, I thought as long as I managed the pain of feeling excluded at times I was gonna be okay. But the moment I became a mom, that just wasn’t enough. Do the twins like having a little brother? It’s hard to be the little brother to identical twin older brothers. Their connection is really majestic. It takes a lot…

You directed and star in the horror film A Quiet Place (out April6). Are you a big scary-movie fan? No, I’m not hard to scare at all! Being someone who never knew horror, I didn’t know if I could pull this off. I focused on what I knew I could do well, which was the family element—the idea of protecting your kids. The first time I read the script, I was a new dad with our second daughter, so I was wide-open emotionally. You and wife Emily Blunt—who plays your wife in the movie—are raising daughters Hazel, 4, and Violet, 22 months. What’s the scariest thing about being a dad?

‘Chrissy is an inspiration and a woman to admire’Jennifer W. via people.com For April 2, 2018 Chrissy Metz I can’t imagine what she went through as a child, to be ridiculed and beaten for being overweight, but she overcame all of that to become the woman she is today.

DEFYING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LAWYERS and their threat to come after her for $20 million, adult-film star Stormy Daniels told her story on60 Minutes March 25 to the kind of ratings even he might envy: 22 million people tuned in (2 million more than for Trump’s own last appearance on the CBS newsmagazine in 2016) to hear details of her alleged sex with Trump 12 years ago and his lawyers’ recent attempts to keep her quiet about it. The White House refused to say whether Trump, 71, watched. “I’m not going to get into what the President may or may not have seen,” Deputy White House Press Secretary Raj Shah told reporters, adding, “The President doesn’t believe that any of the claims Ms. Daniels made in the interview are accurate.”…

Before his breakout role in2016’s American Crime, Trevor Jackson, 21, nearly bailed on acting. “I was frustrated,” he says. “I wanted to focus on music.” But after landing the gig, “I fell back in love,”he says.

‘WE’RE DIFFERENT PEOPLE, YIN AND YANG. THAT’S WHAT MAKES US WORK’—ON HER FIANCEE, ALANA MAYO Lena Waithe is having a dream year. Last September she became the first black woman to win an Emmy for comedy writing (for Netflix’s Master of None, in which she also costars). She also created Showtime’s The Chi, about life in her Chicago hometown; will appear in season 2 of Netflix’s Dear White People; and stars in Steven Spielberg’s new movie Ready Player One (see review, page 35). “It’s a little nutty,” Waithe, 33, says with a laugh of her schedule. “I will always be a television writer, but when I’m an actor on-set, I’m having the most fun because I have the least amount of stress.” Meanwhile she and fiancée Alana Mayo, 33,…

On her last official outing before starting her maternity leave on March 22, Princess Kate took in a familiar sight: flying flour and spilling sauce while lunch was prepared at a London community center. “I have done that with George and Charlotte, making pizza dough,” she remarked of her 4- and 2-year-old kids. “They love that because they can get their hands messy!” Of course life at Kensington Palace is about to get a whole lot messier—and noisier—as the family’s third baby is due “any minute now,” husband Prince William, 35, said on March 21. After a rocky first trimester—as with her previous pregnancies, Kate, 36, battled severe morning sickness—the royal mom picked up more royal duties than ever, including a winter tour of Sweden and Norway. “She doesn’t…

Tyra Banks has always been close to her mother, Carolyn London. But just how close was hammered home to them when Banks’s 2-year-old son York came up with a double-duty nickname. “He calls us MamaNana,” says Banks with a laugh. Throughout Banks’s life, London, who once managed her daughter’s career, has been indispensable: helping Banks break into modeling at 15, encouraging her to break down racial and physical barriers in the fashion world and more recently, standing by her side as Banks, 44, battled fertility issues before becoming a mom herself. “It hurt me so much to watch her struggle,” says London, 72. Now Banks, who split from York’s father, ex-boyfriend Erik Asla, in October, and London (divorced from Tyra’s dad since 1979) have written a joint memoir, Perfect…

Sipping a chai latte in an L.A. cafe, Andie MacDowell, 59, laughs heartily when asked what advice she would give her younger self: “Wear more short skirts and shorts!” Kidding aside, she has learned plenty in her decades as an actress, model and mother. Before she became a celebrated Hollywood beauty, Mac-Dowell was a lonely child in Gaffney, S.C., the daughter of Marion St. Pierre MacDowell, a lumber executive, and Pauline Johnston, a music teacher, who divorced when she was 7. Johnston struggled with alcoholism and often left her daughter alone, but “she always loved me,” MacDowell says. Her mother died of a heart attack when MacDowell was 23. “I don’t have a lot of anger,” she says. “I have a lot of compassion.” ‘I dreamed of being an…

Last Class I Took About two weeks ago, with Angela at SoulCycle in L.A. She’s very spiritual, so it’s like going to church on a bike. And it’s really cool to be on the bike, listening to Jay-Z, looking at Jay-Z riding a bike. Last Moment of Pride Every time I’m with my son [Aman]. He’s 3 now and has a full vocabulary. Every time I say “I love you” to him, I’m saying it to the little boy that I was who didn’t get that. He’s my healer. Last Time I Was Speechless I was with President Obama in Atlanta in [his presidential limo] “the Beast,” and he was talking to me, and I just heard Charlie Brown “wah wah wah wah.” I finally said, “Listen, I haven’t…
