MILLBROOK — Merritt Bookstore welcomed famed Emmy award-winning American actress and producer and now author, Julianna Margulies, on Wednesday, June 30, to sign copies of her popular new memoir, “Sunshine Girl.” 

The visit was not announced, but for those customers who were in the store it was an unexpected treat when they got to meet Margulies, noted for her starring roles in television series such as “ER” and most recently, “The Good Wife,” which also starred Litchfield County, Conn., resident Christine Baranski. 

“Sunshine Girl” tells the story of Margulies’ life growing up with divorced parents, living all over the world, in Paris, England, New York and New Hampshire. The title is based off the pet name she had as a young child. 

The book is currently on sale at Merritt Bookstore, 57 Front St., in Millbrook, where some autographed copies may still be available. 

The Merritt Bookstore and Toystore is open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. 

Call 845-677-5857 for more information or go to www.merrittbooks.com.

‘Les Flashs d’Anne’: friendship, fire and photographs

Anne Day is a photographer who lives in Salisbury. In November 2025, a small book titled “Les Flashs d’Anne: Friendship Among the Ashes with Hervé Guibert,” written by Day and edited by Jordan Weitzman, was published by Magic Hour Press.

The book features photographs salvaged from the fire that destroyed her home in 2013. A chronicle of loss, this collection of stories and charred images quietly reveals the story of her close friendship with Hervé Guibert (1955-1991), the French journalist, writer and photographer, and the adventures they shared on assignments for French daily newspaper Le Monde. The book’s title refers to an epoymous article Guibert wrote about Day.

Nurit Koppel brings one-woman show to Stissing Center
Writer and performer Nurit Koppel

In 1983, writer and performer Nurit Koppel met comedian Richard Lewis in a bodega on Eighth Avenue in New York City, and they became instant best friends. The story of their extraordinary bond, the love affair that blossomed from it, and the winding roads their lives took are the basis of “Apologies Necessary,” the deeply personal and sharply funny one-woman show that Koppel will perform in an intimate staged reading at Stissing Center for Arts and Culture in Pine Plains on Dec. 14.

The show humorously reflects on friendship, fame and forgiveness, and recalls a memorable encounter with Lewis’ best friend — yes, that Larry David ­— who pops up to offer his signature commentary on everything from babies on planes to cookie brands and sports obsessions.
