'I went out to grocery-shop, and this lady stopped me on the street and offered me a beauty parlor special, "I can give you two makeovers for the price of one; all I need is your credit card,"' the 21 Jump Street actress told the magazine about her early days in New York.
The Office star added: 'I literally whipped out my card and was like, "Here it is! Is this all you need?" and she copied it right there on Sixth Avenue.'
Luckily for the Missouri native, the credit card number went unused.

Ellie's sweet disposition shone through in her photo shoot.
The red head beauty reclined upon a hedge while clad in a floral H&M skirt and a striped tank top that showcased her toned arms to full effect.
She added a wild touch with her snake print heels and finished off the spring-ready look with a royal blue necklace.

The chipper star reflected on how her style has influenced her mood, leading her to prefer bold colours when making a fashion statement.
'I have found I'm leaning toward more vibrant colors because I'm so happy in them,' Ellie told the magazine.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has received critical acclaim and also stars Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess.
