Girls Fun Facts

Did you know…

…Marnie's character is based on Lena Dunham's real-life bestie?
Girls creator Lena Dunham (who also plays Hannah) later cast that bestie, Audrey Gelman, in the role of Audrey, aka Charlie's girlfriend after he and Marnie split up.

…Amy Schumer auditioned for the role of Shoshanna?
Dunham described Shoshanna as "an innocent Juicy Couture lover obsessed with emoji," and while Schumer apparently knocked it out of the park in her audition, we can't imagine anyone embodying Shoshanna's Shosh-ness better than Zosia Mamet.

…the four titular girls only appear on screen together 12 times over the course of the series?
Yup! While the show's often compared to Sex and the City, that show's four protagonists are constantly together—getting brunch, going dancing, chatting about their lives late into the night. But Girls four main actors only filmed together 12 times throughout the show's 6 seasons.

…Hannah's OCD experiences are pulled from Dunham's real life?
Yeah, including the scene with the cotton swab. 🙈 We can't even watch it. But we salute Lena Dunham for giving her harrowing real-life experiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder space on the show.

…the final episode was always planned? (Light spoilers ahead!)
The series finale elicited some mixed reactions, but wherever you stand, it was Lena Dunham's plan from the very start: "The whole show from the beginning was leading up to this idea, that the central question from very early on was, are these people supposed to be friends?"
