In another one of our faves from the TMEP vault, we revisit our lively chat with Modern Family’s two-time Emmy Award-winning actress -- the hilariously funny Julie "Claire Dunphy” Bowen who spills the beans about the time she was supposed to film a sex scene on Jim Morrison’s grave; her Mrs. Robinson thang for Harry Styles (whose concert she attended last week); and why Spinal Tap keyboardist Viv Savage is her kindred spirit.
Find Julie Bowen on IG and Twitter: @itsJulieBowen
