After a successful stint at Harvard University, Rashida Jones found out how cold and unforgiving New York can be to aspiring actors. 

After one too many failed auditions, she considered changing her career goals and job description. She'd graduated from Harvard so the natural thing to do would be to pursue a graduate degree... in public policy.

Oddly enough, with application in hand and classes on her mind, she got the call from NBC's "The Office".

The role was only that of "love interest", but Jones used it as a spring board to bigger roles in film and a starring role in NBC's "Parks and Recreation".

Read how the daughter of music producer Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton ditched grad school for the bright lights of Hollywood...
