After the bombshell episode of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Borstein breaks down the real love story that’s at the heart of the show—and how it all exploded.
“That script is so unique. It's unique within our series. We had done nothing like that before—it has a different flavor and tone,” says Borstein. “For that reason, it was terrifying in some ways; you're not left to your usual resources. I don't have Rachel by my side in every scene. It's different.” Not only is Susie taking center stage, but she is flying solo on this trip down memory lane.
Susie’s ascent has elements of the woman she shares her initials with. Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino told Borstein about the connection to the first superagentbefore she auditioned. Borstein opted out of additional research. The reason? “I was afraid I'd latch on to something and then start mimicking something. I didn't want to know what someone looked or spoke like, so I tried to stay away.
While Susie’s origins differ from Mengers, one similarity is a star client and close friend who would go on to leave them. For Mengers, it was Barbara Streisand. In Susie’s case, Midge broke up their decades-long partnership after discovering the truth about her manager’s deal with the mob—and its impact on Midge’s family.“It was disconcerting to learn how deeply Susie betrayed her. Susie betrayed her on a lot of levels; there wasnot shared with her partner,” she says.
“You ungrateful cunt” is how Susie responds to Midge’s accusations. Whereas Borstein loves this word, Susie is not using it affectionately. “I think Susie does know she betrayed her at that point,” Borstein says. “It's Susie using this big, ugly word. You know, like you're supposed to get big if you see a bear—to startle it. I feel like that's what Susie was trying to do.”
