People|11/6/2017“I Feel Incredibly Lucky”This Is Us reduces millions across the country to tears every week, so it’s perhaps not surprising that one of the show’s stars, Mandy Moore, says she’s been a little weepy lately herself. “I’m such a dork,” the actress says after getting emotional during her interview with People. “It’s like, can I not cry for once?” Fortunately for the 33-yearold star, the tears shed recently have been happy ones. Professionally, she’s hit her stride in the past year, as her NBC drama has soared in the ratings, becoming the biggest breakout show on TV. Personally, she hit the jackpot, getting engaged this fall to her boyfriend of two years, Taylor Goldsmith, the front man for the indie-rock band Dawes. “I’m at a point in my life where I really appreciate…7 min
People|11/6/2017‘I Was So Scared I Would Lose Her’The cozy, converted barn that Harry Connick Jr. shares with his wife, Jill Goodacre, is tucked away at the end of a country lane in a bucolic Connecticut town. At 50, Connick is a multiplatinum recording artist, actor and host of the daytime talk show Harry—a man who could afford a Beverly Hills mansion or a Manhattan penthouse. But the couple are happiest far from the bright lights, enjoying a laid-back existence with their daughters Georgia, 21, Sara Kate, 20 (who goes by Kate), and Charlotte, 15. “We’re just incredibly private,” Connick says. “We’ve never wanted a high-profile life.”Which is why, five years ago, they chose to weather their greatest challenge privately. In October 2012, Goodacre, 53, had a routine annual mammogram. With no family history of breast cancer, the…6 min
People|11/6/2017A Country Star Moves ForwardOn the night of Oct. 1 country singer Chris Young was enjoying the music backstage at Las Vegas’s Route 91 Harvest Festival when all hell broke loose. A shooter opened fire during tourmate Jason Aldean’s set, ultimately killing 58 people in what would become the largest mass shooting in recent U.S. history. “It was far and away the most terrifying night of my life,” says Young, who like thousands of others ran from the carnage. Days later and still shell-shocked, Young had to decide whether to move ahead with a previously scheduled outdoor concert. “I decided that the best thing would be to go out there and play again,” says the singer, 32, taking his cues from others like Aldean returning to the stage. “My decision was and is going…2 min

Thankfully we’re pretty mindful about health in our family, and we caught it in stage 1.

People|11/6/2017THE HUNT FOR A MONSTERMargaret Wardlow was only 12 in 1977—the kind of sixth-grader who turned somersaults in the street outside the condo she shared with her divorced mom, Dolores— but the self-described “little crime buff” had fearlessly devoured every word written that year about the East Area Rapist terrorizing Sacramento with attacks since 1976 on 26 women inside their homes. “I would read the articles three times over,” Wardlow says, “and I’d think, ‘Why can’t they catch this guy?’” So, in the dead of night on Nov. 10, 1977, when she was a woken by a masked intruder who blindfolded her and bound her wrists, his next move was no mystery.
