“Angela is a force of nature!” Ali Larter tells Alexa about her sexy and “unabashedly bold,” quick-with-a-comeback, slow-to-back-down character on “Landman,” Taylor Sheridan’s Texas oil drama. “It takes a lot of energy to play her! I am game for a debaucherous night, but this woman really walks the walk.” While Larter — who now calls a ranch in Idaho home — might not be lassoing up a bus full of senior citizens to hit up a strip club, like Angela Norris on Season 1 of “Landman” (now streaming on Paramount+ and available on DVD and Blu-ray May 13), she is a proud mama bear who would do anything to protect her cubs.
“I adore my children [son Theodore, 14, and daughter Vivienne, 10],” says Larter, 49, who had early roles in “Legally Blonde” and “Varsity Blues.” “They serve me up lots of laughs and lessons! They are the greatest things that have ever happened to me.”
This Mother’s Day, the actress will be away from her kids and husband, comedic actor, Hayes MacArthur, filming Season 2 of her new hit show in Fort Worth. But she looks forward to a do-over celebration with her family bringing her coffee in bed and playing gin rummy, followed by a round of calls to her mother and mom friends, to toast them with some bubbles. “Billecart-Salmon Champagne Le Rosé, please and thank you,” she says with a laugh. Cheers to the other little luxuries Larter feels any woman would love.
“These are timeless, classic Ray-Bans. I’ve worn them forever, and I’m sure I’ve bought a dozen over the years!”
“I wanted a sexy little kitten heel for spring — the heart on the toes and the sheer sides are fun, yet elevated.”
“I love a fresh white bikini every summer to highlight my glow.”
“Energy healing sessions are my self-care treat. Jakki Leonardini just helps to calm and ground me through all the pressures of being a working mom.”
“This bag is the perfect size and made of the softest leather. Bottegas are my favorite investment pieces. You can see the quality without a showy logo.”
“The eye cream is perfectly rich for night, but I also use it under my concealer in the daytime. It gives my undereyes a good plump!”
“I wear my cowboy hats as sun hats. The more you wear them, the better they get, and I appreciate that they are naturally waterproof. They have definitely become a staple for me, whether I am shooting in Texas or on my ranch in Idaho.”
“My makeup artist, Georgie Eisdell, introduced this lip shine to me while doing press. It keeps my lips hydrated. I especially like the ‘Rosewood Blush’ color.”
“I line my lips with this after I put on the YSL lip oil. It’s a waterproof barrier and gives you a great pout.”
“I pair this with a kitten heel, a slide or cute sneakers. You can throw a jean jacket or spring trench over it. And it’s perfect for traveling because it takes up no space. It’s light as air and great for warmer weather.”
FAVORITE CANDLE: “I can’t get enough of this peach-plum-vanilla-patchouli scent.”
“My colorist, Tracey Cunningham, put me on to Olaplex years ago. I highlight my hair, and it bonds it to make it stronger.”
“My hubs is pretty darn funny. He and Jay Chandrasekhar interview everyone from Navy Seals to actors to nature photographers.”
