Alison Brie isn’t afraid to live and embrace her naked (and bisexual) truth
This profile is part of Queerty’s 2023 Out For Good series, recognizing public figures who’ve had the courage to come out and make a difference in the past year.Name: Alison Brie Schermerhorn, 40Bio: Before becoming a household name with a résumé full of likable, flirty, Type-A (and occasionally body-slamming) characters, Alison Brie attended high school in Pasadena, Calif.
After playing Toto in a community theater production of The Wizard of Oz, she caught the acting bug, going on to study theater at CalArts.
It didn’t take long for Brie to nab her first onscreen role in an episode of –– get this –– Hannah Montana. Still, her big break came in 2007 as the doting wife Trudy Campbell in Mad Men.
From there, she scored a lead in cult-favorite series Community. As the perky, studious, and surprisingly deep Annie, she laid the blueprint for a booked and busy career.
