The screen life and screen life of Alison Brie
Alison Brie as Annie Edison in Community
On the TV show Community, Alison dazzles us as Annie Edison, a community college student who overcame an addiction to Aderall after losing her scholarship. She is very nervous anda little ofa prude and to top it off, her over-performing side makes her unbearable.
From what we could glean, Brie is quite different from this character in more ways than one, first of all, she was quite open-minded when she was in college, the fact that she went to a nudist college alone says a lot. She told Conan that when she attended the California Institute of the Arts it was a pretty cool place; clothing was optional everywhere except the cafeteria.
Just like Brie ever got naked in weird, public places? You better believe she did; she remembers swinging upside down on a tree branch outside her dorm to cheer up her roommate once in a while. It’s hardly one of the things Annie Edison would check off her bucket list.
Alison Brie as Trudy Campbell in Mad Men
Well, if you thought Annie Edison was a prude, you definitely haven’t met Trudy Campbell on Mad Men. The TV show takes place at a different time, when talking openly or expressing your sexuality was a bit of a taboo. Considering then that the star played the role of a moralist; you can only imagine how tense she would be. (Actually, you can just watch the show, but imagining is fine too)
This character contrasts sharply with Brie’s easy-going, social, and witty nature. She once admitted that to play this role she had to channel aspects of her older sister who isa littlea little more tense than her.
Arguably, Trudy Campbell would never have slept with a gay friend to help confirm he was swinging for the other team. Yes, this is something Brie actually did, we hope you’re starting to get the big picture… she’s definitely more liberal in her thinking.

Alison Brie as Lucy in How to Be Single
She’s obviously a lot more “functional” than a character in this movie, starting with the fact that the girl in the house isn’t single anyway. In fact, she just got hitched in a very private ceremony to her longtime boyfriend and fiancé of over a year, Dave Franco. So Lucy should try this on for size.
Who is this person Lucy? According to National Post, she is a proactive single woman in New York dedicated to using online dating sites as a way to get married. Alison shared some of her thoughts on the character she played. She clearly stated that the character was so far from her, but it was quite fun to play.
Given that she never really considered herself relationship-oriented, talk less about marriage, the role was quite far from her, “I was focused on my career and acting, and for a long time that made difficult relationships. Then came Franco and things finally got mixed up.
“There was never an immediate click, but one year in her, this thing that I thought I would never do felt easy and natural. That’s how it should be, unlike my character in (How to Be Single) who is really on a mission. »
Alison Brie as Lainey while sleeping with other people
Well, that was a particularly interesting sure-footedness and she certainly possessed a measure of savagery that one could relate to Brie. Nevertheless, the two women are still quite different. Here, she’s a serial cheater and possible drug addict who forms a platonic relationship with a womanizer (Jason Sudeikis) in an effort to overcome their bad habits together.
Brie is obviously pretty comfortable with her sexuality, but she’s far from a serial cheater and borderline sex addict. She said: “Actually, it was very interesting, Jason Sudeikis and I, we didn’t really recognize it until after we got the movie, we both did that movie while we were in love and in very strong relationships.”
Considering the fact that they both nailed it, it’s enough to admit that these folks are really good at portraying characters, especially ones far from them.
