...immediate concerns, they do not revolve around becoming the next Emma Thompson. Last week Tyler became a godmother to Ella Rose Richards, granddaughter of Keith, whom she knows through her family. And after months working in California. she is eager to spend some down time "with myself" in New York City. "I can't wait for someone to honk at me and tell me to f--- off," she says, "to be just one out of a million." Fat chance...
