Aubrey Plaza on Joan Didion, 'Women,' and the Book She Read While Filming 'The White Lotus'

Aubrey Plaza follows up on last year's The Legend of the Christmas Witch, on the long lost tale of Santa Claus's twin sister, with The Return of the Christmas Witch (Viking Books for Young Readers), both co-written with Dan Murphy.

The Delaware-born, L.A.-based Plaza, who Time calls "the stealth-weapon actress of our era," was named after a song by 70s California soft rock band Bread; did competitive Irish dancing (her mom is Irish, her dad Puerto Rican), interned at SNL after taking film production at NYU; did improv and comedy at Upright Citizens Brigade; has a production company called Evil Hag Productions; has two rescue dogs named Stevie and Frankie; can make fake credit cards; can read tarot cards and cast a moon spell in Megan Mullally's backyard; fell asleep on fellow Delawarean President Biden's couch when he was VP.

Likes: witches (she apprenticed with one in Tennessee), Halloween, movie theaters. Good at: softball. Bad at: naps. Curl up with one of her picks.
