Actress Mary-Louise Parker still gets lost on New York streets - and hates it when people ask her for directions.

The Weeds star has lived in the city’s West Village for years, but is filled with fear when lost strangers ask her for advice on how to get to their destination.

She tells New York gossip column PageSix, "I panic when people on the street ask for directions.

"Where they need to go might only be a few blocks away, but it’s as if they’re asking, ‘How do you get to Croatia from here?’"
