Is Anna Faris Unqualified?
With characteristic self-effacement, Ms. Faris also addresses the downsides of being a famous Hollywood couple, including her feelings of insecurity when Mr. Pratt starred with Jennifer Lawrence in the sci-fi epic “Passengers” and the tabloids speculated
that they were a couple: “Of course it’s hurtful and also embarrassing when people are saying your husband is cheating on you — even if it’s patently untrue,” Ms. Faris writes.
Ms. Faris, who stars in the CBS sitcom “Mom” and has appeared in nearly 40 movies, covers an impressive range of taboo subjects: her plastic surgery, her “crazy masturbation phase,” the number —
and names — of people she’s slept with, and her feelings of jealousy when her husband, the actor Chris Pratt, would appear onscreen with beautiful co-stars.

comedy “Take Me Home Tonight,” when she was still married to the actor Ben Indra.
