Beloved in the industry after more than 125 roles in TV and movies, the actress directed her first film,
“just to see if I could do it.”

LOS ANGELES — Judy Greer is the relatable star, the one who walks her own dog, pooper-scooper bags
in hand, even when there are no paparazzi around to capture it, and lives for solo trips to Target,
cruising the beauty aisles late at night to de-stress. The one time she went to the Oscars, she threw her
Spanx out in the bathroom not long after she arrived. Onscreen, she has been best friend to Jennifers
Garner and Aniston; offscreen, she texts with her real-life BFF, Janet, about gorging on Taco Bell and
crying in airports and at Rust-Oleum commercials.
You know her, even if you don’t know her. That’s the way she wants it: As a blonde, redhead and the
occasional mousy brunette, Ms. Greer has played more than 125 roles in TV and film (six movies this
year alone), very few of them major parts. And if you ask her, that has given her just the right level of
celebrity. “Not being a movie star has been the greatest freedom,” she wrote in her 2014 memoir, “I
Don’t Know What You Know Me From: My Life as a Co-Star.” A working actress since she graduated
from theater school, she has carved a busy, fruitful career in Hollywood’s second tier, for which she is
preternaturally grateful.
