In "Parks and Recreation", which actress plays Mona-Lisa Saperstein?

Jenny Slate plays Mona-Lisa Saperstein in Parks and Recreation.

Mona-Lisa is the twin sister of Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, played by Ben Schwartz, and the daughter of Dr. Saperstein, played by Henry Winkler. She is portrayed as impulsive, reckless, and aggressively self-centered, making her one of Pawnee’s most chaotic recurring characters.

Slate first appeared as Mona-Lisa in the season-five episode “Bailout,” which originally aired in 2013. The character also has a connection to Tom Haverford, since she becomes his girlfriend and later ex-girlfriend, creating further trouble for Tom’s business and personal life.

A frequent mix-up is confusing Jenny Slate with Kristen Bell, who plays Ingrid de Forest, or with Lucy Lawless, who plays Diane Lewis. Mona-Lisa’s distinctive Saperstein family ties and Slate’s intentionally frantic performance make the role easy to identify once those characters are separated.
