Celebrity Seating: My favorite thing to do Friday is go to a movie at Mann’s Chinese. I love that theater and I love the thought that I’m sitting in a seat that John Wayne or Vivian Leigh or Myrna Loy sat in during some premiere.

Pool and Garden: When it was warm, my friends would come over on Saturday morning for pool aerobics. This woman comes over, stands on the side of the pool and yells at us. It’s actually so much fun and my favorite form of exercise. Then I like to go to garden supply stores and look at flowers and plants and weird pottery things. I will go to the farthest reaches of L.A., like Sig’s in Northridge, a fountain and pottery place. My new place, the Glass Garage on Melrose, has amazing things for your house and garden, like old Chinese urns. We just bought a spectacular bonsai rose tree there.

Raise or Call: When I come home, I order pizza from Angeli, an Italian restaurant, through the delivery service. Why cook? I don’t eat cheese, and they have alternative and no-cheese pizzas. Then friends come over to play nickel-dime-quarter poker. We’ll play poker all night and talk in accents, so there’ll be a Swedish round or one where everyone has to talk like the Beatles.

Treasure Hunt: I get up Sunday and make breakfast and have it in bed and read the newspapers. Then I go to flea markets. My favorite is Pasadena City College--it’s doable, and it doesn’t have junk. I like things you find that other people think is junk, but to you it’s a treasure. I like to go and look through trash.

Walk on Water: Crustacean is my favorite restaurant in the whole world and the only reason I go to Beverly Hills. It’s spectacular. They have an aquarium in the floor that you follow to your table. The food is continental-Vietnamese, and they have little Vietnamese tapas and incredible garlic noodles.
