For every celebrity in attendance, Stouffer’s donated 1,000 meals to the city’s needy families, in hopes of donating around 70,000 meals total.

Mom is Mandie Taketa Brady, whose divorce from Wayne was finalized last year.

Gary Cole Opens Up About Daughter's Autism

With Autism Awareness Month just around the corner in April, Gary Cole opens up in the latest issue of WebMD magazine about receiving the diagnosis for his daughter Mary in 1995. Although 1 in 150 children is currently diagnosed with the complex neurological disorder, at the time Gary says all he had to go on ”was Rain Man.” The sharp increase in spectrum disorder diagnoses is something Gary is keenly aware of. He notes,

“It seems you can ask any friend, any relative and they’ll be able to tell you about someone they know with autism. Or direct you to a good doctor who can help.”

The 52-year-old actor — who currently appears on Entourage but is perhaps best known for the role of Bill Lumbergh in Office Space — says that he first suspected that something was amiss with Mary when she was two years old. “[She] didn’t process information like you or I do, and did not pick up on social cues,” he explains. His advice for others is simple:

“Seek answers, and the earlier the better.”

Noting that “your original agenda as a parent is set aside” as soon as the diagnosis of autism is made, Gary is grateful that Mary — now 16 – has gone on to lead a relatively normal life. After receiving therapy as a young child and with the help of a personal aide, she went on to attend mainstream elementary and middle schools in California, where she now goes to a special learning facility for high school.

Mary is the only child for Gary and actress Teddi Siddall, whom he married in 1992.

William H. Macy On His Future Teenagers: 'I'm Shaking In My Boots!'

Despite his days as a self-proclaimed “stealth” in high school, actor William H. Macy dreads the day he finds himself watching his two daughters walk through the doors and into their freshmen year. While there is no stopping the arrival of that momentous day — “I’m shaking in my boots thinking of my girls becoming teenagers!” — the 59-year-old and his wife, actress Felicity Huffman, can’t help but take pity on their children as they recall their own school day experiences. “Felicity and I both sort of shuddered when we thought of how difficult high school is on kids,” he tells PARADE. “I wouldn’t want to go through it again.”

Relating to his character in the new film Bart Got a Room, William shares that the adults who imagine themselves in the fairy-tale world of perfect parents are simply setting themselves up for failure. “Being a parent myself, I realize this whole notion of trying to be a good parent is a lose-lose situation,” he says. Instead, for William — who questions the true meaning of a “good parent” — the feeling of being an accomplished father is a result of becoming a constant support system for the family. He explains,

“I do know that the way you keep score, when it comes to being a parent, is did you show up? Whether you had the right things to say or whether you handled the situation properly, who knows? But did you show up?”

William and Felicity are parents to Sofia Grace, 8 ½, and Georgia Grace, 7. Bart Got a Room will be in select theaters on April 3rd.
