How to have the best Sunday in L.A., according to Judy Greer
Chances are, you've seen (or heard) Judy Greer in one of her many roles over her prolific, multidecade career. She's played Maggie Lang in 'Ant-Man,' voiced Cheryl Tunt in the long-running animated adult sitcom 'Archer,' and appeared as Jennifer Garner's bestie in the 2004 rom-com classic '13 Going on 30' (the two are friends IRL too). She's also joining the cast for the second season of Garner's Apple TV series 'The Last Thing He Told Me.' Streaming now is Apple TV+'s heartfelt new golf comedy, 'Stick,' in which Greer plays Amber-Linn — not a best friend, but the ex-wife of former professional golfer Pryce Cahill, played by Owen Wilson. You don't have to be a fan of the sport to watch. 'Honestly, I'm not a golfer and I love it,' she says. As for her perfect Sunday, she'll stick close to Larchmont, where she's lived for 20 years. 'I travel a lot for work, so I don't always like to go far and wide on my weekends,' she says. 'My dream Sunday is to not actually exit the threshold, but today I'm going to.' And she'll get a lot done, from reading a'plenty to hitting up the farmers market and Dodger Stadium, taking in a movie and getting quality time with her husband, Dean Johnsen, her stepkids and her terrier mix, Mary Richards. 6:30 a.m.: A pot of coffee and reading in bed I get up at 6, 6:30, and not on purpose. My husband likes to sleep, so if the sun's out, I can read in bed. If not, sometimes I'll come downstairs and read and have coffee, and then when he wakes up, I'll go back up and we'll have coffee in bed together. I love to start my day with a pot of coffee in bed. The coffee maker, it's like a basic bitch, a Cuisinart coffee maker. We get this brand called Punk Bunny. That's our favorite kind of coffee. We did recently try the dark roast, but we both have decided it's too much for us. We're going back down to the medium dark roast. And I just put soy milk in it. Whenever I'm traveling for work and staying in these Airbnbs and apartments and stuff, there'll be a cappuccino maker, and we'll always be like, should we get one of those? and then we never end up doing it. If I go out to a cafe, like Lamill or Go Get 'Em Tiger on Larchmont, I'll get a cappuccino, but I don't need to be making cappuccinos in my house. 9 a.m.: Two loops around the Silver Lake Reservoir Then I would drive to the Silver Lake Reservoir, and I would walk around it twice, which is probably just under five miles. I would take my sweet dog — she's a really good walker, even though she's tiny. After my walk, I would make a parfait for myself at home. I also like to go and get the protein pancakes at Cafe Gratitude. That would be a really big treat. I don't love getting breakfast on Larchmont on Sundays because it's so crowded. 11 a.m.: Hit up the Larchmont Village Farmers Market My husband and I, we're not cooks or chefs or anything. We have a couple go-tos at the farmers market: There's the soup guy who has the frozen soup, and I like to get flowers and usually berries. We don't really eat meat, but once in a while we'll treat ourselves to salmon. My husband will make salmon on the grill, so he'll get fish from the fishmonger and sometimes those Parmesan crisps he really likes (and then I eat them, even though he is like, they're for me). If we're thinking of making a big salad or something, we'll get salad stuff. But again, we're not those people, even though we really want to be those people. Noon: Stop at Chevalier's Books Then I would walk down to Chevalier's, our little local bookstore, and say hi to everyone who works there and wander around a bit. I have so many books and it's a problem, but then there's usually something there that just came out that I'm really excited about, and so I'll get it. I've lately been buying hardcovers because it's kind of fun to have a first edition of something that could potentially win the Nobel Prize or Pulitzer. My husband was like, 'The thing about you is you buy a lot of books, but you do read them.' So I'm not just randomly buying books. I'm reading a book by Barbara Kingsolver right now called 'Unsheltered.' That one I think I probably swiped out of a little library on a dog walk because it's definitely not brand new. I just finished 'Martyr!' [by Kaveh Akbar] and I was so blown away that I almost didn't even want to read another book for a while. 1 p.m.: A quick dip in the pool, some shopping and Dodger Stadium Now, we're coming home, and we're going to rinse off in the pool, which is gross, but I don't care. And then we're decking ourselves out in our Dodger gear and we're going to go to Dodger Stadium and we're going to watch the Dodgers win at Dodger Stadium. We would meet my stepkids there and the four of us would watch the Dodger game and they would have some beers and probably some nachos. I'd sit with my peanuts and Diet Coke, and we would watch the Dodgers. I love Sundays at the ballpark because it's fun, it's chill, it's tons of families. Dodger Stadium has really become one of my favorite places in Los Angeles. It's just a really beautiful place. Sometimes I'll walk around the whole loop of the stadium, just get my steps in, wander around and see everybody, and see all the food. 4 p.m.: An afternoon movie and the best popcorn Mann Chinese [TCL Chinese Theatres] is where my husband and I mostly go to the movies because it's weirdly closer to our house, but kind of a pain in the ass because it's really touristy. But now we know where to park and how to get in and out really quickly. So we've got it down. I'm probably going to get myself into a lot of trouble now, but we pop our own popcorn. This is husband territory; he makes it on the stovetop with kernels and coconut oil. We're an Orville Redenbacher family. I'm not ashamed to say we have tried all the fancy popcorn kernels, but honestly, I feel like Orville gives you the best pop, so that's what we buy. Oh, I'll show you something dorky. Hold on. [Greer disappears and returns with a large Ziploc bag.] I usually sneak it in my tote bag. I love having popcorn in the movies, but the movie popcorn is usually not super good for us. Sometimes I will also sneak in some dried mangoes, and usually I'll still buy a Diet Coke. I feel guilty not buying anything. I love that big theater. It's just so beautiful. There are such great movie theaters in L.A., such old theaters, and that one is so historical. I've been to a bunch of movie premieres there too. But probably I prefer it when I'm just like a citizen watching a movie. 7 p.m.: Pasta for dinner I would finish my day by going to dinner at Osteria Mamma and getting — I don't want to get in trouble for this, because they took it off the menu — their pasta pomodoro. Sometimes I'm just like, 'Can you just make me the pasta pomodoro?' It's just so good. My husband gets the cacio pepe, which they make tableside in this huge cheese wheel, which is bananas, and I like their tricolore salad. We usually split that. Yeah, we'd have a nice little cozy dinner and not have to cook on a Sunday night. We didn't really buy much at the farmers market anyway, let's be honest. 8 p.m.: Watch a little TV or read in bed Sometimes we're watching a show and we'll watch an episode, or we'll just go to bed and read in bed. I like to ascend around 9. This week, I've been really tired, so I've been going up at 8:30. I'm like, the sun is still out. But by the time I'm done with all my ablutions and the flossing and all the things, it's definitely almost dark. I get cuddly with my dog and read for a little while, and then, yeah, lights out by 10, but that's even sometimes a little bit late. On a Sunday, I want to get a really good night's sleep before Monday morning.

David Morse: 'We Were Liars' is modern-day 'King Lear'
1 of 5 | "We Were Liars" -- starring left to right Caitlin FitzGerald, David Morse, Wendy Crewson, Mamie Gummer and Candice King -- premieres Wednesday. Photo courtesy of Prime Video NEW YORK, June 18 (UPI) -- The Last Thing He Told Me, Outsiders and John Adams actor David Morse says he sees a glimmer of William Shakespeare's doomed patriarch King Lear in Harris Sinclair, the character he plays in the new series We Were Liars. The adaptation of E. Lockhart's best-selling young adult novel premieres on Prime Video Wednesday. It follows teen Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind), who summers with her cousins and friends on her grandfather Harris' New England private island. Vying for Harris' attention are his adult daughters Bess (Candice King), Penny (Caitlin FitzGerald) and Carrie (Mamie Gummer). "It was hard not to see it that way a little bit, not that I could really go down that road, but it definitely had those parallels, especially because he's -- and it's one of the reasons I wanted to do this and nobody in the story knows it -- but he has dementia in the future," Morse, 71, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "He can feel it coming and there's a kind of a clock ticking for him," the actor said. "There's things that he wants to get done before he's really gone and it makes him very vulnerable and touching to me and unexpected in a character like this. So, in that way, I suppose it's like King Lear." Fall of the House of Usher, Midnight Mass and Haunting of Bly Manor alum Rahul Kohi, 39, plays Carrie's boyfriend Ed, while Shubham Maheshwari portrays Gat, Ed's nephew and Cadence's love interest. Ed is one of the only men in the family to hold his own with Harris and his daughters. "They're the best of friends," Kohi quipped about Ed and his demanding future father-in-law. "They're very similar. They're both protecting their families in very different ways. Harris is, obviously, the way he is through wanting to protect his family and Ed endures what he endures from Harris in order to protect his family. So, they're kind of mirroring each other, but coming at it from different ways." One reason they clash, however, is their perspectives on wealth. Harris has always had money and takes it for granted, while Ed and Gat know how hard it is for regular folk to live without it. "It's been a part of his life for so long," Morse said about his millions. "His daughters do not handle their wealth well and he really has a hard time with that because he feels he has taken care of it extremely well and expected them to do the same and they have not done the same," he added. "So, he's actually looking for someone to do a better job with it and he focuses on Cadence, who is the central character in the story." A bit of an outsider who is always trying to prove himself, Ed is wary when Gat begins a romance with Cadence. "Gat, in some way, could be potentially walking the same path as Ed," Kohi said. "Ed's not his father, obviously. He's his nephew, but I feel like, at this point, with what Gat's going through, it felt the most fatherly Ed had to become in order to help him navigate what he was going through, through an experience that, obviously, Ed is dealing with himself." Kohi said he was excited about his scenes with Maheshwari from the show's table read until the cameras started rolling. "Those kind of 'Rocky Balboa' pep talks were some of my favorite to do," he added. "I remember the table reads. They were great. They went down well and I was really excited to film them and they exceeded my expectations."

Garner had previously shared the image a couple of weeks earlier. Garner is known for her dark brunette hair, so the blonde highlights certainly make for a big change. And she always takes her hair care seriously. 'My hair philosophy is the same way as how I approach makeup, which is that if you take care of your skin and hair, then you should feel good without adding anything major,' Garner told Harper's Bazaar in 2022. 'As I get older, I probably need more mascara or to give my roots a little help, but I don't have to do that, because I know that my skin and hair are as strong as ever.'
