The busy actress took a break from filming the black comedy Pushing Daisies to give her daughter a push instead.
She left her fitness coach in charge of pushing the two-year-old as she pounded the streets during a gruelling run in Hollywood recently.
Yesterday it was just mum and daughter, however - although Miss Friel couldn't resist a quick chat on her mobile phone.
Despite her flashy LA lifestyle, the Lancashire-born actress is clearly keeping her feet firmly on the ground.
Miss Friel, 31, who made her name in this country in the Channel 4 soap Brookside, lives with actor David Thewlis.
She has a six-year contract on the hit black comedy Pushing Daisies, in which she plays a murdered woman brought back to life by her childhood sweetheart.
Anna plays crime-fighting sidekick Chuck, who she says she based on Gracie.
The hit U.S. TV series that has turned her into a major star - is about to be screened on ITV1.
