Tragic Details About The Cast Of Parks And Recreation

The following article contains mentions of mental health issues, sexual harassment, suicide, and hate crimes.

Although the most popular workplace mockumentary-style sitcom would probably have to be the American version of "The Office," "Parks and Recreation" was a close second for many, with its quirky ensemble cast and whacky scenarios. For seven seasons, NBC viewers tuned in to the show to see how the public officials of Pawnee, Indiana, would try to make their city a better place. Much of the cast of "Parks and Recreation" has since moved on to other projects. However, they will always be linked by two things: their shared time on the show, and the fact that nearly all of the cast have been touched by devastating circumstances.

"I did the play 'Annie,' which is, you know, the gateway drug for all girls trying to do theater," she jested. By 12 years old, Kendrick got her big break in a Broadway show — and, following her transition to Hollywood, her work has continued to be nothing short of impressive in the years since.

Tragic Details Of Alec Baldwin's Ex Kim Basinger
