Katic
Playing action-packed scenes with shootouts and explosions as Detective Kate Beckett in the ABC series Castle is nothing new for actress Stana Katic, who grew up with four brothers. “That was just part of daily life,” Katic, 33, jokes. She maintains an active life in her free time, too, going hiking, running and traveling when she can. “I try to go and see and soak up as much as I can on the planet.”
Kristen Johnston plays “a hot mess” of a district attorney in her new sitcom, The Exes (premiering Wednesday on TV Land), who takes care of basically everyone else but herself, she says: “Not that I know anything about that.” Johnston, 44, is writing a book — out in 2012 — that delves into her own travails, including a health scare: “I was one of those girls that the party just went on too long.”
