26、When Owen Vaccaro, star of The House with a Clock in Its Walls, thinks about the start of his acting career (事业), he thinks about his first-grade teacher and his dislike of sports and other activities that many children enjoy.
“She knew we had tried every single sport and activity for me,” the 13-year-old actor said about his teacher. “Nothing really worked. So she said we should try out a theater company called MZ Stageworks. I went into it with really low hopes. I didn’t think I was going to like it any more than I had liked anything else.”
Now an eighth-grader, Owen still remembers the excitement of discovering those early theater classes in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. “I loved it and couldn’t wait until the next class.”
Soon, the theater classes led to his first auditions (试镜), which finally landed him his first film part, A Product of Me, six years ago. In the years since, Owen has been in eight more movies.
In The House with a Clock in Its Walls, an adaptation (改编) of a 1973 children’ s book by John Bellairs, Owen plays Lewis Barnavelt, the lead character. After losing his parents, Lewis is sent to live with his uncle Jonathan (Jack Black). Lewis quickly discovers that Jonathan and his best friend and neighbor, Mrs. Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett), actually have magic powers, and there’s something strange going on in Lewis s new house.
“It’s a film about amazing powers and family and fighting evil (邪恶) with the people you love,”' Owen said. “It is a starter horror (恐怖) movie for teens and older.”
Working with Black and Blanchett, who are both parents, “was marvelous,” Owen said. He even got to know their families. “I love them. Cate brought her kids to set. One of them, Iggy, and I would play games together,” he said. “And as for Jack, I went to Six Flags with his kids, and it was a ton of fun.”

27、Daniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s long brown hair when she noticed that with each comb, masses of the hair were coming out. That was January 1, 2017.

Gianessa had become one of the 6. 8 million Americans with alopecia, an auto-immune disease that causes hair loss.
Alopecia isn’t painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the severe pain comes from standing out from the crowd.

Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker (贴纸) jewels and decorated her head with flowered designs and even a deer. “They just fit her personality,” Daniella smiled. “She’s so lovely. “
On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny? However, with her mother’s encouragement, she had nothing to fear. Impressive Gianessa was a hit and a winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad that she dared to go bare. “I was sad at first when I lost all my hair,” she told people. “But now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can’t.
