*ANSWER TO QUIZ: lil All OF THEABUVE

AGE: 34. PROVENANCE: Milbridge, Maine, HOMETOWN GIRL: The former Miss Maine Teen now owns a home down the street from the house she grew up in, where she enjoys laid-back visits. "When I'm there, I'm not worried about what shoes I'm wearing and what my hair looks like—it's just me." CORE VALUE: After graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Aselton made her first feature appearance in 2005's The Puffy Chair, a film written and directed by brothers Mark and Jay Duplass, pioneers of the naturalistic "mumblecore" genre. Aselton and Mark Duplass got married a year after filming wrapped, and the couple now co-star in FX's fantasy-football hit, The League, along with a cadre of comedic talent. "For me, it's like going to funny camp; I get to be with some of the greatest improvisational actors that are working today." MAINE EVENT: Aselton returned to her hometown to direct and act in Black Rock, a horror film out this month, co-starring Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth. She once again joined forces with her husband, who wrote the screenplay—an action-packed departure from their previous work together in mellower fare. "I'm waiting for Spielberg, Soderbergh, and Scorsese to make the call, but until my phone rings and they come up on the caller ID, we're going to make our own stuff, because it's what we do."
