Jessica Hecht stars in off-Broadway play “The Orchard”
You’ve probably seen Jessica Hecht on the small screen, big screen, Broadway or off-Broadway. You might recognize her as Ross’ ex-wife’s wife Susan from “Friends” or her role on “Breaking Bad” or turn on Broadway in “Fiddler on the Roof.” And now she’s starring in the off-Broadway play, “The Orchard.”
On this Women Wednesday, Hecht, actress and a New Yorker, joined NY1 to share more about her career.
She also talked about what it’s like to play opposite legendary ballet dancer and actor, Mikhail Baryshnikov. Finally, she gave great advice to those actresses who are just starting their careers.
Hecht advises that people just be themselves. There is a place for everyone no matter who you are. There is no need to remake yourself to be successful.
