10 Reasons Aubrey Plaza Is A Badass

Aubrey Plaza's been killing it these days, and we'll take her pretty much however we can get her. Here are a few reasons why she's particularly brilliant, and for even more proof of her excellence, make sure to check out her latest movie, A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III, in theaters now and also available on iTunes and cable VOD.

1. She Made A Full Recovery After Being Partially Paralyzed

She revealed to NPR that she suffered a stroke when a clot formed in her brain's left temporal lobe while studying at NYU in 2004, and that the experience helps her keep her Hollywood life in perspective.

The Page Program is famous for being incredibly selective (out of about 7,000 applicants, only 60 to 80 people are selected each year), so she's clearly talented. So much so, in fact, that she was fired after 4 weeks for "lying too much."

3. She Doesn't Take Any Crap On "Parks And Recreation"
