Amber Tamblyn Goes Dancing With Bowling Shoes

The star of “Y: The Last Man” hits Brooklyn Bowl for a girls’ night out.

Amber Tamblyn strode confidently toward the foul line and unleashed a sparkly pink bowling ball toward the waiting pins. Almost immediately, the ball plopped into the right gutter. Another ball, another assured approach. That ball guttered, too.

But Ms. Tamblyn, 38, an actor, director, poet, novelist, essayist and activist, didn’t much care about her score.

“Win or lose, I’ll always be happy at the Bowl when Ahmir is DJing,” she said on a recent Thursday night at Brooklyn Bowl.
