Early Life
Philipps was born in Oak Park, Illinois. Her parents gave her the nickname Busy because as an infant she was always moving.[citation needed] The nickname stuck; it even appears on her credit cards, but not her drivers license (as she stated on an episode of Wendy Williams 12-7-10).[citation needed] She attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. She attended Loyola Marymount University at the same time as Linda Cardellini and former boyfriend Colin Hanks.
