Melissa McCarthy is on the cover of WSJ. Magazine‘s August 2019 issue, on newsstands July 27.

Here’s what the 48-year-old actress had to share with the mag…

Elisabeth Moss, (her co-star in The Kitchen) on McCarthy: “She’s shockingly normal and down-to-earth. I feel like that’s said of so many famous people. But Melissa actually is, like, in her core.”

Octavia Spencer (friend and fellow Groundlings member), on Melissa: “The moment she walked onto the stage we’d all chuckle in anticipation. She was so beloved. The lines were always around the corner.”

On her fashion line: “I’ve been every shape and size that’s out there, and I just found it harder and harder to find stuff,” she says. “I thought, I’m modern and young and want to wear what every- body else is wearing. Why is this such a strange request?”
