So Jenny is based on Chaiken right?

thoughts?

She's pretty much based her off of her own experiences coming to terms with her own sexuality.

Would be interesting if it was also based on her way of getting into hollywood, by making a movie/TV show based on the lives of her lesbian friends :)

Peace!

Yep. From what I've read, Chaiken's sexual awakening was pretty much identical to Jenny's. I think it helped Jenny be complex, relateable, and interesting for the first two seasons...but Chaiken's attachment to that character let her go off the deep end with no real repercussions, IMO.


You're a sexual Disneyland.
