Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer have reignited their longstanding friendship while collaborating on Apple TV’s latest series, The Last Thing He Told Me. The duo first gained recognition for their roles in the 2004 romantic comedy, 13 Going on 30, and their bond has only grown deeper over the past two decades. Garner expressed her gratitude for Greer’s support throughout their friendship, underscoring the unique dynamic they share as women working in the entertainment industry.
At a tastemaker event for The Last Thing He Told Me held on February 12, 2026, at The West Hollywood EDITION, Garner reflected on their relationship and Greer’s impressive career evolution. The 53-year-old actress remarked, “Judy and I have been friends ever since 13 Going on 30. There’s such a lovely shorthand. You don’t erase the history that you have with someone.” This sentiment highlights the depth of their connection, which they have maintained despite the challenges of Hollywood.
Garner elaborated on how Greer’s growth as an actress has inspired her. “She’s carried me through the last 20 years. I’ve watched her evolve into a more and more formidable, stronger, deadlier actress,” Garner stated. The opportunity to work alongside Greer again has pushed her to elevate her performance. “With another woman, it’s really special,” she added, noting the rarity of such collaborations.
The series The Last Thing He Told Me is based on the best-selling novel by Laura Dave. It tells the story of Hannah, whose life spirals out of control after her husband, Owen, disappears. As the plot unfolds, viewers learn that Owen’s real name is Ethan, who was previously married to the daughter of a notorious mob lawyer, portrayed by David Morse. Garner described the show as a gripping exploration of real-life dilemmas, stating, “You have this super propulsive energy, and you have this real family love story in the middle of it.”
The series aims to delve into profound themes while also presenting an intense narrative. Garner praised Greer’s performance, calling her a “real baddie” in the show, and commended the entire cast, including Luke Kirby and John Noble. “This season really does offer more of the same, deeper, better,” she added, emphasizing the quality of the storytelling.
As the two actresses continue to navigate their careers, their friendship remains a testament to the power of support and collaboration in a competitive industry. Garner’s reflections serve as a reminder of the importance of finding camaraderie and inspiration in colleagues, particularly among women in film and television.
With the premiere of The Last Thing He Told Me on Apple TV, audiences can expect not only a thrilling narrative but also a showcase of the enduring friendship between two of Hollywood’s beloved actresses.
