Judy Greer On “Arrested Development” Fans & Why She’s Terrified Of The Red Carpet

Judy Greer knows she looks familiar to you. Could it be her stint on Arrested Development as the Bluths’ secretary Kitty Sanchez? Her character on Archer? Playing Jennifer Garner’s best friend in 13 Going On 30? “Every day of my life, a stranger comes up to me and asks me what they know me from,” Greer laments to our own Nick Axelrod, in this episode of “I Yahoo’d Myself.” “Like, ‘Do you work at the Starbucks on Robertson and Pico?’” (The answer’s no.)

The actress—whose credits include everything from the cult classic Jawbreaker to Yahoo’s “Reluctantly Healthy” to a recent Tropicana commercial with Jane Krakowski to the upcoming Jurassic World—is in on the joke, though. Just look at the title of her must-read memoir: I Don’t Know What You Know Me From: My Life as a Costar

Having worked in Hollywood for more than 15 years (and in more than 80 roles), Greer has picked up many a trick, tip, and crazy story along the way. Consider the origin of her red carpet pose, for one. “I am terrified of the red carpet and never know how to stand,” she says. To combat her fear, she dug around the Internet and discovered a very simple hack to achieve the most thinning angle in a photo. Greer notes that she learned from the pros (hint: Diane Kruger!) and says out of the two red carpet images below, one definitely prevails.
