Early life and education
Plaza was born in Wilmington, Delaware, to Bernadette, an attorney, and David Plaza, a financial advisor.[4] She has two younger sisters, Renee and Natalie.[5]
Plaza was named after the song "Aubrey" by the soft rock band Bread.[5] Her paternal grandfather, Ismael, was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico.[6] He then moved to the mainland U.S. when he was 17 years old.[6] Plaza's mother is of Irish and English descent.[7][8] She has also stated that she has Taíno ancestry.[9][8]
Plaza has stated: "I'm half-Puerto Rican. But, yeah, I have a huge family and tons of cousins in Puerto Rico."[10] She grew up "very Catholic in a very Catholic household".[11][12] She graduated from Ursuline Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, in 2002. In high school, she was student council president and participated in productions with the Wilmington Drama League.[13][14] She studied film at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 2006.[5]
Career
2004–2015: Beginnings and Parks and Recreation
Plaza had many internships and worked as an NBC page.[15] Plaza has performed improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater since 2004.[16][17] She also performed stand-up and has appeared at the Laugh Factory and The Improv.
Plaza starred in the online series The Jeannie Tate Show and as Robin Gibney in ESPN's Mayne Street. She appeared in the first episode of "Terrible Decisions with Ben Schwartz" on Funny or Die.[18] She played Seth Rogen's love interest, Daisy, in 2009's Funny People, directed by Judd Apatow. She appeared in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Derrick Comedy's Mystery Team, which debuted at 2009 Sundance. She appeared in a CollegeHumor short alongside Jason Bateman and Will Arnett.
She played April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation from 2009 to 2015. She received universal praise throughout the entire show for her performance as the deadpan employee, being referred to as one of the show's breakout characters.
On March 12, 2010, Plaza performed at "A Night of 140 Tweets: A Celebrity Tweetathon for Haiti", produced by Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, Ben Stiller, and Mike Rosenstein, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. In 2011 she appeared on Portlandia. Plaza appeared as a guest judge during a roast segment on The Next Food Network Star in 2011. She appeared in Episode 199 of the WTF with Marc Maron podcast. She also had a recurring role as "the Princess" in the comedic sci-fi web series Troopers on CollegeHumor.[19]
In 2012, she was featured in Father John Misty's music video for the song "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" from the album Fear Fun and in 2014 she was in Cassorla's "Bona Fide" video where she also made her saxophone-playing debut.[20] In 2012, Plaza earned her first starring role in a major film, alongside Mark Duplass, in the comedy, Safety Not Guaranteed. Plaza played Darius, a jaded intern who answers a curious want ad "seeking a companion for a time traveling adventure". Her performance in the film was critically acclaimed.[21] She won the award for Breakthrough Performance (Female) at the 2012 Young Hollywood Awards (YHA). During a 2012 shooting of an episode of Parks and Recreation at the White House, she met then-Vice President Joe Biden and stole his notes about her from his desk.[22]
In 2013, she had the leading female role as Sacagawea in Drunk History episode "Nashville" in the segment on Lewis and Clark Expedition.[23] In 2013, she also had the starring role in the CBS Film The To Do List. In an impromptu attempt to promote this film, Plaza ran onto the stage at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards and grabbed Will Ferrell's award for "Comedic Genius", inspired by Kanye West's interruption of Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, all with a drink in hand while the film's name was written across her chest. Similar to West, this resulted in her ejection from the studio lot at which the ceremony was held.[24]
At the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, Plaza's film, Life After Beth, which was written and directed by her now-husband Jeff Baena, premiered.[25] Plaza also voiced Grumpy Cat in the Lifetime Network's original movie Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever (2014).[26]
Since 2016: Career expansion
In 2016, Plaza starred in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates alongside Zac Efron, Anna Kendrick and Adam DeVine. Her role as the rebellious Tatiana earned her critical praise. Then, she was a guest star on Harmonquest, as a gnome named "Hawaiian Coffee" and portrayed Aaron Burr in the "Hamilton" episode of Drunk History.[27] She also provided a guest voice for the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Mall Girl Pearl" with Betty White.[28]
In 2016, she portrayed Cat Adams, a contract killer, first in Season 11 of the CBS television series Criminal Minds, and then again in Season 12 and 15.[29] In 2017, Plaza both starred in and produced two films, The Little Hours and Ingrid Goes West. The latter premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and later earned the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature. Plaza starred as the social media obsessed fan of a celebrity played by Elizabeth Olsen. Variety film critic Peter Debruge praised Plaza's performance writing, "Plaza's tortured performance captures all of this, which is saying something for an actress whose blasé persona hinges on the fact that she can't be bothered: Nobody plays ambivalence better, and yet, Plaza allows herself to seem vulnerable here."[30] In 2018, she starred in the indie comedy An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn.[31]
Plaza starred as both Amahl Farouk / Shadow King and Lenny Busker in the FX series Legion from 2017 to 2019.[32] In both 2019 and 2020, Plaza hosted the Independent Spirit Awards.[33] In 2019, she starred in Child's Play, a reboot of the 1988 film, as Karen Barclay, Andy's mother who brings home a killer doll, Chucky.[34] In 2020, Plaza produced and starred in independent film Black Bear and starred in Happiest Season. In 2021, Plaza wrote a children's book, The Legend of the Christmas Witch, along with co-author Dan Murphy and illustrator Julia Iredale.[35] Plaza produced and starred in the film Emily the Criminal, which premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.[36][37] She also appears in the film Spin Me Round, which premiered at the South by Southwest film festival in 2022.[38]
In January 2022, it was announced that Plaza would star in the second season of the HBO series The White Lotus.[39] Plaza played Harper, a lawyer vacationing in Sicily with her husband, Ethan, played by Will Sharpe.[40] She received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.[41] On August 25, 2022, Little Demon premiered on FXX. The series stars Plaza (who is also an executive producer), alongside Danny DeVito and Lucy DeVito.[42] On October 16, 2022, Plaza was given the Artist of Distinction Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival.[43] In November 2022, Plaza was cast as witch Rio Vidal in the Disney+ series Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[44][45]
In 2023, Plaza received backlash for her participation in an ad for the dairy industry that mocked plant-based milk.[46][47] On July 26 it was announced that she would be making her stage debut off-Broadway in the revival of John Patrick Shanley's Danny and the Deep Blue Sea opposite Christopher Abbott.[48] Despite the show receiving generally mixed reviews, Plaza was credited for making a strong first attempt on stage. She claimed to be nervous to make her 'stage debut', though she had done so over 15 years prior.[49][50][51]
Personal life
Plaza has been in a relationship with writer and director Jeff Baena since 2011.[52] In May 2021, Plaza revealed that she and Baena are married, referring to him as her husband in an Instagram post.[53] In a 2016 interview with The Advocate, she stated: "Girls are into me—that's no secret. Hey, I'm into them, too. I fall in love with girls and guys. I can't help it."[54][55]
Plaza suffered a stroke when she was 20 years old that caused temporary paralysis and temporary expressive aphasia.[56] A couple of years later, she had a transient ischemic attack while on the set of Parks and Recreation.[5][57][58]
