Connie Sawyer, Hollywood’s oldest working actress, just turned 105!
Known for her comedic roles in When Harry Met Sally, Dumb and Dumber, Pineapple Express and Archie Bunker’s Place, the character actress has been making audiences laugh since before the television was even invented.
“There aren’t that many people around who are 105,” Sawyer tells People with a laugh. “I always say you have to move, you have to get off the couch. I used to swim, play golf, tap dance, line dance — I was always moving and I was lucky.”
She also credits good genes inherited from her parents,...

Zooey Deschanel got some support from her New Girl costars when the cast attended PaleyFest in La yesterday. We got a chance to talk to Max Greenfield, who gave us a teaser about his character Schmidt's new love interest and what's in the stars for his relationship with the now-engaged Cece. He said, "I don't know, I really don't know what's happening. We kinda go episode by episode and I'm trying to come to grips with the fact that Cece is doing her thing." Now that New Girl is preparing to go on hiatus, Zooey has another project on her plate - a new album and a Summer tour with her band, She & Him. She recently released a new single, "Never Wanted Your Love," which features Zooey's trademark vocals over bandmate M. Ward's music. She & Him's tour will kick off on June 13 and last through July 11. View Slideshow ›...

Zooey Deschanel grew up thinking her sister was an alien who wanted to kill her. The "(500) Days of Summer" actress said she grew up living in fear, due to her sibling's rather colorful imagination, which led her to thinking she was from another planet.
She said: "I grew up believing my sister was from Neptune and had been sent down to Earth to kill me."
"My sister Emily convinced me of it when I was a toddler. I think she'd seen 'Invasion Of The Body Snatchers' and her imagination ran away with her."
Zooey, 29, also said she also grew up with a strong connection to the paranormal and took years to get over an innate fear of supernatural beings.
