As a kid I always wanted to
be in my school plays but
never felt like there was a
role I could play. I love that
Ali’s breaking these barriers
for kids in the future to be
able to shoot for their dreams!
Truly history being made.

Cameron Boyce
My heart aches for
Cameron’s friends, family
and for all the Disney fans.
He will be so missed.
Michelle Beany via people.com

The Sussex Family
I can’t help but think of
Princess Diana when I see

and how delighted and
proud she would be.

Ali Stroker

first wheelchair user to win
a Tony makes me very happy.

Matthew Fenner
I read the article about
Matthew Fenner and how he
says he was beaten at his
church for being gay. It broke
my heart. How can anyone
participate in something so
terrible. It just blows my mind.

I wish people would stop
hurting other people just
because they’re different
from themselves.

JFK Jr.
I had to take a deep breath
after looking at those
fabulous photos of John
Kennedy Jr. So tragic that
his life was cut short.
Mona Eisenberg via people.com

JFK Jr., his wife, Carolyn,
and her sister Lauren:
three vibrant lives that
ended way too soon. I
ponder what John Jr. would
have done in his lifetime.
Lorna Bass via people.com

Awkwafina
Losing a loved one is heart­
breaking and at such a young
age is really devastating.
But I commend Awkwafina
for the strength that she
has, to turn her sadness
into a joy and her life into
something positive. I’m
sure her mom is looking
down at her and everyone
around her is proud of the

‘Meghan looks so

calm and centered.

Motherhood

agrees with her’

Forty-one years ago Olivia Newton-John strutted her way to big-
screen stardom as Sandy in 1978’s summer blockbuster Grease.
While the Aussie native, then 29, had already earned six platinum
albums, she told People that acting had “always been in the back of
my mind.” Today the 70-year-old superstar lives on a ranch with her
husband, John Easterling, in Southern California and continues to
receive treatment for stage 4 breast cancer, her third bout with the
disease since 1992. In November she will auction off Sandy’s iconic Grease costumes to
raise money for her namesake cancer research and wellness center in Melbourne.
