Early life and education
editJones was born in Los Angeles, California, to actress Peggy Lipton and musician/record producer Quincy Jones. She is the younger sister of actress and model Kidada Jones, and half-sister to five siblings from their father's other relationships, including Kenya Jones and Quincy Jones III. Jones' father has Tikar roots from Cameroon, and a Welsh paternal grandfather.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Her mother had Ashkenazi Jewish roots from Latvia[11][12][13][14][15][16] and Belarus. Her maternal grandfather, Harold Lipton, a corporate lawyer and owner of the Boston Celtics and San Diego Clippers, changed his surname from Lipschitz to Lipton in the 1930s.[17][18]
Jones and her sister were raised in Reform Judaism by their mother; Jones attended Hebrew school, though she left at the age of ten and did not have a bat mitzvah.[19][20][21] Jones' first name derives from the Arabic word for "righteous".[22] Jones grew up in Los Angeles's Bel Air neighborhood. She has said of her parents' mixed-race marriage: "it was the 1970s and still not that acceptable for them to be together".[23] 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.[24] 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".[23] Jones displayed musical ability from an early age and can play classical piano.[25] Her mother told Entertainment Tonight in 1990 that Jones was "also a fabulous singer and songwriter".[26]
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 theater at Buckley, with tutelage from acting teacher Tim Hillman.[23] 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[27] responding to scathing remarks made by rapper Tupac Shakur about her parents' interracial marriage in The Source. Shakur, who later apologized for these remarks, went on to be friends with Rashida and her family. Rashida's sister, Kidada, was dating Tupac at the time of his death.
Rashida attended Harvard University,[23] where she lived in Currier House and Eliot House. She belonged to the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club, the Harvard Opportunes, the Black Students Association, and the Signet Society.[28] She was initially interested in becoming a lawyer but changed her mind after becoming disillusioned by the O. J. Simpson murder trial.[24][29] She became involved in the performing arts and served as musical director for the Opportunes, an a cappella group,[30] co-composed the score for the 149th annual Hasty Pudding Theatricals performance, and acted in several plays.[31] 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 black students as not being "black enough".[32] She studied religion and philosophy[33] and graduated in 1997.[34]
Career
editActing
editJones appeared in the 1997 miniseries adaptation of Mario Puzo's novel, The Last Don. She next appeared in Myth America, East of A and If These Walls Could Talk 2.

In 2005, Jones played Karen in the Stella pilot on Comedy Central and special government agent Carla Merced in the TNT police drama Wanted.
Jones was considering leaving the acting profession and pursuing a graduate degree in public policy before she was offered the part on The Office. She joined the ensemble cast in September 2006, playing the role of Karen Filippelli. She appeared regularly during the third season, returning as a guest star for three episodes in seasons four, five, and six.[36]
Jones also played Karen in the February 2007 Saturday Night Live episode hosted by Rainn Wilson, appearing briefly in the opening monologue's Office parody.[37] Jones filmed cameo roles in The Ten and Role Models, both directed by David Wain, with the latter appearing on the Blu-ray release.[38] She co-starred in Unhitched, the short-lived 2008 comedy series produced by the Farrelly brothers. She also appeared as the love interest in the Foo Fighters' music video "Long Road to Ruin".
In January 2009, Jones voiced several characters in an episode of the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken.[39] She played Hannah in Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, an independent film by John Krasinski that screened during the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. She co-starred as Zooey Rice in I Love You, Man, a DreamWorks comedy with Paul Rudd and Jason Segel.
Jones accepted a role in Parks and Recreation, a mockumentary-style sitcom on NBC. The show was created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, with whom she previously worked on The Office. She played nurse Ann Perkins from the show's debut until midway through the sixth season, and reprised the role for the final episode of the series.[40]
Jones had a small role in the 2010 Kevin Smith film Cop Out. She also appeared in The Social Network (2010), alongside Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, which is set at Harvard. She played Marylin Delpy, a second-year legal associate assisting with the defense of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Jones starred opposite Chris Messina in Monogamy (2010), a drama directed by Dana Adam Shapiro. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2010 and was released theatrically in March 2011.[41][42]

Jones is due to be involved in an adaptation of Sell/Buy/Date, a play about the sex industry. Through her involvement in Hot Girls Wanted, Jones gathered a negative reputation among sex workers, as they see the film and series as unfairly depicting the industry and as violating performers' consent.[50] Turned On was criticized after some people who appeared in it said that they did not give permission or withdrew permission, and that the series included their images or personal details without consent.[51][52]
Jones voiced the role of Marcy Kappel, a security forces agent of internal affairs, in Blue Sky Studios animation film Spies in Disguise (2019).

Personal life
editAlthough raised Jewish, Jones began practicing Hinduism in her early teens with her mother, after the two visited an ashram in India.[24] As an adult, she practices Judaism.[86] She told a reporter:
In this day and age, you can choose how you practice and what is your relationship with God. I feel pretty strongly about my connection, definitely through the Jewish traditions and the things that I learned dating the guy that I dated. My boyfriends tend to be Jewish and also be practicing ... I don't see it as a necessity, but there's something about it that I connect with for whatever reason.[19]
On her multi-racial identity, she has remarked, "I have gone through periods where I only feel black or Jewish. Now I have a good balance."[23] and "The thing is, I do identify with being black, and if people don't identify me that way, that's their issue. I'm happy to challenge people's understanding of what it looks like to be biracial..."[87]
Jones became engaged to music producer Mark Ronson in February 2003. He proposed on her 27th birthday, using a custom-made crossword puzzle spelling out "Will you marry me?" They ended their relationship approximately one year later.[88][89]
In early 2017 it was reported that Jones was in a relationship with musician Ezra Koenig, and in August 2018 they had a son.[90] In a 2024 interview published in The Guardian, Koenig referred to Jones as his wife.[91] Regarding Koenig, Jones stated in a 2024 interview in The New Yorker:
Oh, we’re not married. We just kind of call each other that. But we are what we are, in the eyes of God! My parents only got married when my dad had his first brain aneurysm and my sister was six months old, because of rights stuff. I’m sure we’ll get married at some point, but we basically are.
