15 Trivia Tidbits About Aubrey Plaza

It's fine to refer to Aubrey Plaza as the "Goddess of Modern Humor” because you’re not technically wrong. Aubrey Plaza has starred in several comedy movies and television episodes, such as the famous Parks and Recreation, The To-Do List, Safety Not Guaranteed, and Scott Pilgrim Versus the World. Her humor has a caustic, dark aspect that never burns out. She is not just a humorous persona but also a wonderful human being.

Her father, David Plaza, works as a financial counselor, while her mom, Bernadette Plaza, works as an attorney. Thank goodness they didn't come in the way of Aubrey's ambitions, or the globe might have missed out on her amazing personality.

Aubrey Plaza may appear to have been created by the Gods and brought to Earth to save us from overly serious actors, but she is from Delaware. Here are a few more facts about the woman who has us all in a laughing fit.
