Alia Shawkat

If you are fond of watching television shows, then you’ll know who Alia Shawkat is. She is known for playing Maeby Funke’s roles in Arrested Development, Dory Sief in Search Party, and Alexander Hamilton/Frances Cleveland/Virginia Hall in Drunk History. During her earlier years, she had a taste in fashion and was featured on Calvin Klein’s catalog and also appeared along with her friend Ellen Page (now Elliot Page) in the October 2009 issue of Bust Magazine. Her recent appearances were on The Old Man, playing the role of Angela and Love Spreads, playing Kelly’s part.

In 2017, reports revealed that she came out of the closet as a Bisexual person, and everyone who is a fan of Arrested Development was undoubtedly shocked by her admission. However, regardless of her gender identity, she indeed still has the support of her fans. It’s definitely not easy coming out in an industry like Hollywood, which is why Alia deserves credit for being brave and confident with herself.
