She is known for playing Ann Perkins on NBC's comedy ''Parks and Recreation'', Louisa Fenn on Fox's ''Boston Public'', and Karen Filippelli on ''The Office''. She has had film roles in ''Our Idiot Brother'', ''The Social Network'', ''The Muppets'', ''I Love You, Man'', and ''Celeste and Jesse Forever'' (for which she wrote the screenplay). She is also the screenwriter, along with writing partner Will McCormack, to the upcoming Pixar film ''Toy Story 4''. ==Early life== Jones was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of actress Peggy Lipton and musician and record producer Quincy Jones. She is the younger sister of actress and model Kidada Jones. The two also have five half-siblings from their father's other relationships. Jones' father, who is African-American (with Tikar roots from Cameroon), also has more distant English and Welsh ancestry.〔Interview with Jon Stewart, ''The Daily Show with Jon Stewart'', Airdate July 30th, 2012〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New DNA test results trace Oprah Winfrey's ancestry to Liberia / Zambia : Zambia News )〕 Her mother is Ashkenazi Jewish (a descendant of immigrants from Russia and Latvia).〔Stated on ''Who Do You Think You Are?'', 4 May 2012〕 Jones and her sister were raised in Reform Judaism by their mother; she attended Hebrew school, though she left at the age of ten and did not have a Bat Mitzvah. Jones grew up in Los Angeles' Bel Air neighborhood. She has said of her parents' mixed-race marriage that "it was the 1970s and still not that acceptable for them to be together". In his autobiography, her father recalled how he would often find the six-year-old Jones under the covers after bedtime, reading five books at a time with a flashlight.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Bob Rivers Show: Interview with Actress Rashida Jones )〕 She has said that she grew up a "straight-up nerd" and "had a computer with floppy disks and a dial-up modem before it was cool".〔 Jones displayed musical ability from a young age and can play classical piano. Her mother told ''Entertainment Tonight'' that Jones is "also a fabulous singer and songwriter, so she has inherited it (from Quincy), there's no question about it. Her dad's teaching her how to orchestrate and arrange too."〔"The Women of ''Twin Peaks''," Interview with Peggy Lipton, ''Entertainment Tonight''. Airdate November 1990〕 Jones attended The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California, where she made the National Honor Society and was voted "Most Likely To Succeed" by her classmates. Jones was involved with theatre at Buckley, with tutelage from acting teacher Tim Hillman. She went to the same school as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.〔 Jones's parents divorced when she was 14 years old; her sister subsequently remained with their father, while Rashida moved with their mother to Brentwood. In 1994, Jones garnered attention with an open letter responding to scathing remarks made by rapper Tupac Shakur about her parents' interracial marriage.〔 After high school, she left California to attend Harvard University.〔 At Harvard, Jones was a resident of Eliot House and belonged to the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club, Harvard Opportunes, Black Students Association, and the Signet Society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1997 Candidates for Harvard & Radcliffe Class Marshals )〕 She was initially interested in becoming a lawyer but changed her mind after becoming disillusioned by the O. J. Simpson murder trial.〔〔 She became involved in the performing arts and served as musical director for the "Opportunes", an a cappella group, co-composed the score for the 149th annual Hasty Pudding Theatricals performance, and acted in several plays. In her second year at college, Jones performed in ''For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf'', which she said was "healing" because she had been seen by many blacks as not being "black enough". She studied religion and philosophy and graduated in 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harvard Alumni website (screenshot) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rashida Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
