18. Amy Poehler
Tiny Amy Poehler is just a little less than 5’2” – just a smidgeon less, hardly enough to notice at all. She is known for her wide and beautiful smile and energetic personality.
This is what she says about being fun, “I have to say I enjoy physical comedy and I’ve always loved to kind of take risks. I don’t like worrying too much about how I look or how I come across, so that can sometimes… You know, I like to play those kinds of deluded but fun characters.”
She listens to rap music, and Bone Thugs n Harmony is her favorite rap band.
Amy’s political views are liberal Democratic, and she knows her way with words, “Both conservatives and liberals watch ‘Parks and Recreation,’ and they each think the show is for them, which is really cool. ‘SNL’ was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you’re talking about.”
As for her excitable personality, she said once that ‘nobody looks stupid while having fun’. This lady is a great company, we suppose.
Also, at the 2013 golden Globe, when Meryl Streep was absent, she explained in her own charming way: “Meryl Streep is not here tonight. She has the flu and I hear she’s amazing in it.”
In 2007, she portrayed a sister to her real-life husband in Blades of Glory.
She can frequently be seen with her best friend, Tina Fay, a loved comedienne.
