Early life

Jones was born in Los Angeles, California, to actress Peggy Lipton and musician/record producer Quincy Jones. She is the younger sister of actress and model Kidada Jones, and half-sister to five siblings from their father's other relationships, including Kenya Jones and Quincy Jones III. Jones's father is African American with Tikar roots from Cameroon, and a paternal Welsh grandfather.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Her mother was Ashkenazi Jewish (a descendant of Jewish emigrants from Russia and Latvia).[11][12][13][14][15][16] Jones and her sister were raised in Reform Judaism by their mother; Jones attended Hebrew school, though she left at the age of ten and did not have a Bat Mitzvah.[17][18][19]

Jones grew up in Los Angeles' Bel Air neighborhood. She has said of her parents' mixed-race marriage: "it was the 1970s and still not that acceptable for them to be together".[20] In his autobiography, her father recalled how he would often find the six-year-old Jones under the covers after bedtime, reading five books at a time with a flashlight.[21] She has said that she grew up a "straight-up nerd" and "had a computer with floppy disks and a dial-up modem before it was cool".[20]

Jones displayed musical ability from an early age and can play classical piano.[22] Her mother told Entertainment Tonight that Jones is "also a fabulous singer and songwriter".[23]

Jones attended The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California, where she made the National Honor Society and was voted "Most Likely To Succeed" by her classmates. Jones was involved with theater at Buckley, with tutelage from acting teacher Tim Hillman.[20] Jones's parents divorced when she was 14 years old; her sister subsequently remained with their father, while Rashida moved with their mother to Brentwood.

In 1994, Jones garnered attention with an open letter[24] responding to scathing remarks made by rapper Tupac Shakur about her parents' interracial marriage. They managed to patch up their differences and Shakur eventually went on to be friends with Rashida and her family. Rashida's sister, Kidada Jones, was dating Tupac at the time of his death.

Rashida Jones attended Harvard University,[20] where she lived in Currier House and Eliot House. She belonged to the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club, Harvard-Radcliffe Opportunes, Black Students Association, and the Signet Society.[25] She was initially interested in becoming a lawyer but changed her mind after becoming disillusioned by the O. J. Simpson murder trial.[21][26] She became involved in the performing arts and served as musical director for the Opportunes, an a cappella group,[27] co-composed the score for the 149th annual Hasty Pudding Theatricals performance, and acted in several plays.[28] In her second year at college, Jones performed in For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf, which she said was "healing" because she had been seen by many black students as not being "black enough".[29] She studied religion and philosophy[30] and graduated in 1997.[31]

Personal life

Though raised Jewish, Jones began practicing Hinduism in her early teens with her mother, after the two visited an ashram in India.[21] As an adult, she practices Judaism.[72] She told a reporter:

In this day and age, you can choose how you practice and what is your relationship with God. I feel pretty strongly about my connection, definitely through the Jewish traditions and the things that I learned dating the guy that I dated. My boyfriends tend to be Jewish and also be practicing ... I don't see it as a necessity, but there's something about it that I connect with for whatever reason.[17]

On her multi-racial identity, she has remarked "I have gone through periods where I only feel black or Jewish. Now I have a good balance."[20] and "The thing is, I do identify with being black, and if people don't identify me that way, that's their issue. I'm happy to challenge people's understanding of what it looks like to be biracial," [73]

Jones was engaged to music producer Mark Ronson in February 2003. He proposed on her 27th birthday, using a custom-made crossword puzzle spelling out "Will you marry me?" Their relationship ended approximately one year later.[74][75]
