14 Reasons Why Rashida Jones is One of the Coolest Women in Hollywood
Happy 39th birthday Rashida Jones!
Lucky for us, we got to celebrate by seeing Rashida Jones return to Parks and Rec on the series finale last night. While we literally can’t fathom a world without our favorite Pawnee residents, somehow we’ll have to manage.

One way we can manage is to celebrate the cast in any way possible. That’s where Rashida comes in. We let her into our hearts as Ann Perkins, but there’s actually a lot more about the actress that makes her so incredibly cool.
So in honor of her birthday, we’ve come up with 14 reasons why she’s awesome.
1. She’s celebrating her birthday with one of the greatest movies of all time.
