Ray and Anna Romano Give Back After Her Breast Cancer Fight
Originally posted 02/09/2012 08:25AM
When Ray Romano's wife of 24 years, Anna, was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer, the couple immediately began making calls to doctors near their Los Angeles-area home.
"We were blessed and didn't have to worry, 'Does insurance cover this?' " Ray recalls of the experience. "We want to give that [peace of mind] to other women."
So, last year, after her treatment ended and she began her five-year tamoxifen prescription, Anna began researching philanthropies that she and her husband could adopt as their own.
"There are so many charities, and you want to help every one of them," she says, "But this really just gave us a direction."

Ray Romano: My Wife Beat Breast Cancer
Originally posted 02/08/2012 01:00PM
Ray Romano's hit sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond, was famously based on his experiences at home, but he and his wife of 24 years Anna, have remained mum on one very personal subject – until now.
The actor and his wife are opening up to PEOPLE for the first time about Anna's battle with stage one breast cancer.
"The reason we're going public is to share our experience, yeah, but to have an effect," says Ray, 54. "Our goal is to help people."
After a doctor discovered a lump in her right breast, Anna, 48, had a mammogram and a biopsy. In February 2010, she was devastated to hear that she had "invasive breast cancer."

Lady Gaga's Jo Calderone: Who Does He Look Like?

Lada Gaga was a no-show at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards – but she sent her chain smoking male alter-ego, Jo Calderone, in her place.
With his black suit and pompadour, the greaser bears little resemblance to Gaga herself. In fact, he could have been mistaken for some other famous men.

After saying goodbye to Everybody Loves Raymond last year, Ray Romano has settled back into what made him a success: family life. Wife Anna is "happy to have me home," says Romano, 48, who plays woolly mammoth Manny in Ice Age: The Meltdown. "But there are times where she just wishes that I was out." When he's not getting in the way of making dinner, Romano is getting the kids ready for school ("We literally drag them out of the bed," he says), watching baseball games and worrying over his 15-year-old daughter Alexandra's interest in boys. Romano – who's been married for 19 years and also has 13-year-old twins Gregory and Matthew and 8-year-old Joseph – recently chatted about dealing with his new reality, grieving for Raymond and getting lost in his 10,000-square-foot house.

CELEBRATED: Kenny Chesney was named entertainer of the year at the 40th annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on Tuesday night, just eight days after his surprise marriage to Renée Zellweger, who was on a movie set and missed the show. The new groom laughed off questions about his marriage after the show, saying only that he would spend his evening going to a party and doing a little gambling, the Associated Press reports. Gretchen Wilson won for both female vocalist and best new artist; Australian Keith Urban took male vocalist and album awards; while Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss won two trophies each.
