Ask StacyDEAR STACY: On the cooking show "Lidia's Family Table," we see her son, her daughter and her grandchildren, plus her mother. The question is, who and where is her husband? — Rose G., Forest Hills, N.Y. DEAR ROSE: Lidia is divorced from Felice (Felix) Bastianich, whom she wed at age 18 and to whom she was married for 31 years. Both are natives of the peninsula of Istria, between Italy and the Balkans. They raised their son and daughter and built their business together, starting with a restaurant called Buonavia right in your neighborhood, Forest Hills — selling their Queens enterprises and making the move into Manhattan with Felidia Ristorante in 1981. After they divorced, he remarried, while she continued her ascendancy in culinary stardom with her TV show, restaurants and books. It's all the more impressive considering that when she was a child, Lidia and her family lived for months in a refugee camp in Trieste before eventually coming to America. She learned baking at the Walken Bakery in Astoria, Queens, which was owned by the parents of actor Christopher Walken — who remains a friend and restaurant patron of Lidia's to this day. DEAR STACY: I remember a lot of talk about a cable film of Hillary Rodham Clinton's story. Whatever became of that? — Gwen W., Cleveland, Ohio DEAR GWEN: The planned A&E biopic was announced in '03, and much was made of Sharon Stone possibly starring, but it never came together. DEAR STACY: Can you tell me the name of the song used in the Toyota Sequoia commercial that has kids looking through a telescope? Also, who is the artist? — Lance B., Austin, Texas DEAR LANCE: You are referring to "Going Whichever Way the Wind Blows" by Pete Droge of The Thorns. It's on his "Under the Waves" album. DEAR STACY: Whatever happened to Hannah Storm from "The Early Show"? I really miss her — she is a knowledgeable, vibrant person. DEAR R.J.: After five years on the ratings-starved morning program, Storm was taken off, with CBS saying that she was being reassigned to do more work for the evening news. She told fans in a farewell thank-you note posted on the CBS News Web site in December: "I sure will miss being with you every morning. I have thought often over the last week about how God's plan is different from my own … and how important it is to embrace that." DEAR STACY: Whatever happened to Lee Horsley? He was so good in the Danielle Steele miniseries. — Corinne G., Wantagh, N.Y. DEAR CORINNE: Muleshoe, Texas-born Horsley, whose long list of film and TV credits includes the 1986 "Crossings" miniseries to which you refer, continues to act. His latest projects include a role in the Harrison Ford-Sean Penn June release "Crossing Over" — a multi-story drama that has to do with immigrants living in Los Angeles — and the forthcoming independent sci-fi movie "Alien vs. Alien." Horsley stays busy in other realms as well. An avid outdoorsman, he traveled in search of exotic game for the Outdoor Life Network reality show "Benelli's Dream Hunts" in '06. He's participated in rodeo events, and he has started writing Western novels. DEAR STACY: Is Jorja Fox going to do a different series now that she's no longer on "CSI"? – L.F., Westbury, N.Y. DEAR L.F.: The actress has no such plans at this time and has said she's not going to even think of more regular series work for a while — though she is open to the idea of returning to "CSI" as a guest star. DEAR STACY: I thought Richard Dean Anderson was about 5 feet, 10 inches tall. A friend says he's much taller than that. What is his true height? — Diane L., Canton, Ohio DEAR DIANE: The former "Stargate SG-1" and "MacGyver" star is 6 feet, 2 inches. With reports by Stephanie DuBois and Emily Feimster.
