Girl Crush of the Week: Alison Brie
One of my favorite actresses I just learned was born in Hollywood, California. She was raised in South Pasadena. No hard luck story of her trying to reach Hollywood to become an actress. It doesn't take away from what is a fledgling career that should make it much farther than where it is now. At least more of the public need to see her comedic gifts. She has guested on "Hannah Montana" and been on "Mad Men". But she has gotten a bigger shot with the comedy series "Community" where she's part of a good cast.
That series may not be renewed for another season by NBC which would be a shame because Alison Brie would have to search for more work. She is very deserving demonstrating great comic timing that shows she is ready for a star vehicle. With her comedic talent, photogenic looks from her great smile to her wide blue eyes.
She is just 29 years old and plays younger roles and still has time to become "America's Sweetheart". That may be big shoes to fill considering how many actresses are further ahead of her. But with the exception of Emma Stone, who else gets that title? Sandra Bullock? Julia Roberts? They're a bit long in the tooth and even Jennifer Aniston has had that for maybe too long already. Zooey Deschanel? She's a sweetheart but Alison Brie would appeal to a larger sector. That's just my opinion. Smash through that glass ceiling, gurl! The couple of videos showcase some her comedic talents and even a bit of singing.
