10Q: Alison Brie

"There’s no place like home for Alison Brie. Raised in South Pasadena, she showed up on Hollywood’s doorstep and was soon welcomed into hit shows with open arms. On AMC’s Mad Men, she tastefully agitates the viewer as uppity Trudy Campbell, and she paints a most intriguing picture of the coming of age of straitlaced college student Annie Edison on NBC’s Community.

She’s the quintessential girl next door. Or is she? The actress certainly has a wild side. She sent a few ripples into the world when she joined comedians and actors in penning her youthful sexual misdeeds in Alexandra Lydon and Laura Kindred’s Worst Laid Plans: When Bad Sex Happens to Good People.

This isn't all that interesting--in fact, I kind of wish it was more snarky, like Deborah Solomon's "8 Questions" over at the NYT Magazine that it's clearly emulating--but Alison Brie is fantastic. And so, for that matter, are the characters she plays on Mad Men and Community. Hurrah!
