Emma Roberts vividly remembers how she was welcomed to life in Los Angeles 30 years ago. “I was 3, because my first memory of L.A.
was of that big [Northridge] earthquake in 1994,” the actor told The Times via Zoom recently from New York City. She was fresh off an appearance on “CBS Mornings” promoting her latest movie, “Space Cadet,” which premieres Thursday on Prime Video. In addition to being the film’s executive producer, Roberts stars as a Florida party girl turned improbable astronaut.
But now she’s ready to launch into her ideal Sunday itinerary. Before answering my questions, the fashion-loving co-founder of online book club Belletrist and mother of a 3-year-old son had one of her own. “Do I have my baby with me or do I not?” she said.
“Because my ideal ideal Sunday is to be with him. But to get all this done, I’d probably be doing it solo.” With that, the “Nancy Drew” and “American Horror Story: Delicate” star was off the launchpad and rocketing through a meticulously mapped-out day that begins with a cup of coffee in Laurel Canyon and ends with the “Scream Queens” star wearing a crown of sorts.
This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for length and clarity. 10 a.m.
: Coffee in the canyon If it’s my ideal Sunday, I get to sleep in, so at 10 a.m. I’m going to Lilly’s Coffee at the Laurel Canyon Country Store.
It’s a little coffee stand outside of [the store] and it’s the best coffee. I’ll get my iced latte .
