In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Alex Borstein addressed whether her The Marvelous Mrs Maisel character, Susie Myerson, is a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel is a period drama on Amazon Prime set in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The series charts the friendship between Susie and Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan), a female Jewish comedian, who she manages.
Fans have speculated that Susie might be LGBTQ+ due to her presentation as a butch lesbian, and her working at The Gaslight Cafe, a real-life New York City coffeehouse, which attracted authors of queer fiction like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.
