The star looked comfortable in a pair of skinny jeans, black leather boots, and a padded Patagonia jacket.

Elizabeth kept a low profile in leopard print sunglasses as she lugged around a camouflage backpack and a small Prada side purse.

The mother-of-two looked distracted as she took a phone call on her way to baggage claim.

The star is taking the industry by storm as her production company Brownstone, which she built from the ground up with husband, Max Handelman, lands deal after deal with every major studio in Los Angeles.

Her company produced both Pitch Perfect 2 and 3, and has recently secured a deal with Sony for a new Charlie's Angels feature.  

In an interview with The New York Times, Melissa McCarthy said: 'There’s such an assertive quality to her, and I mean that in the greatest possible way.

'She’s like some old studio exec from 1942 - her in a suit and cigar would make perfect sense. Ben [Falcone] always calls her the Mogul.'

The name of her company derives from a childhood fantasy of living among the wealthier folks in her hometown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

'The big homes always had five-number addresses, and they didn’t have a dirty color as the name of the street,’ she told The New York Times. 

'In our fantasy, you didn’t live at 101 Brown Street. You lived at 10-100 Brownstone Drive.' 

The actress’ partner in life and business, came into her life on the first day of college at the University of Pennsylvania.

Ten years later, the couple were married on July 5, 2003 at Greystone Mansion in Los Angeles.

Elizabeth explained toVanity Fair why she decided to go into business with her husband.

‘We have always made decisions that kept us together as a couple,’ she said. ‘We like working together. We’re good at working together.’

Max and Elizabeth have two sons together, Felix, six, and Magnus, five.
