She has been busy lately promoting her upcoming drama Can You Ever Forgive Me?, which is set to premiere in just a few short weeks.

But Melissa McCarthy was taking it easy Wednesday during a relaxed outing in Los Angeles.

The actress, 48, wore a black T-shirt emblazoned with the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, 'Hate is too great a burden to bear.'

She teamed the statement shirt with a bandanna wrapped around her hair, track pants, Nike sneakers, and a matching studded purse.

The actress appeared to forgo wearing any makeup and wore her hair down while carrying a yellow cup.

It has been a busy few weeks for Melissa, but Wednesday seemed devoted to resting and relaxing.

Playing Lee Israel, a once-acclaimed Hollywood biographer who in bad times forged 400 letters from dead celebrities, is another dramatic transformation for the ever-popular star.

It is a serious role based upon Israel's autobiography that has already gleaned rave reviews for Melissa, who only stepped in after Julianne Moore dropped out.

In the movie a financially-desperate Lee starts forging letters from people she knew but, with her best friend Jack Hack, played by veteran British actor Richard E. Grant, 61, she goes onto stealing real letters from archives to sell on the black market to eager fans.

They only realized something was wrong when some noticed that the letters were too witty to be from the real celebrities.

'One of my favorite things is finding the character, the wardrobe, the make up, the hair,' Melissa said at the Fox Searchlight TIFF party.

'It's so much a part of what people are, and I think especially for Lee. I kept saying he is always cocooning herself and its our body armor.'

Can You Ever Forgive Me? is set to premiere on October 19, 2018.
