Hedy appears briefly in the first episode in the hallway scene. She also appears in the fourth and eighth episodes. Her husband, Gordon (Reid Scott), is a popular TV talk show host.
Speaking about the actress playing the role, Arianda is notable for portraying Vanda Jordan in Venus in Fur, for which she received a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play in 2012.
Moreover, she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play in 2011, following her remarkable performance as Billy Dawn in Born Yesterday, written by Garson Kanin.
She made her break-out debut just months after graduating from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts Graduate Acting Program in the 2010 off-Broadway production of Venus in Fur.
Arianda’s performance attracted the attention of the entire NY theatre community. In 2011, Venus in Fur transferred to Broadway, where her act became the most critically acclaimed of the 2011-12 season.
This recognition followed the actress’ 2011 nod for her Broadway debut in Born Yesterday. She also procured a role in Woody Allen’s Oscar-winning film Midnight in Paris.
In 2014, Nina starred in the Manhattan Theatre Club’s production of Tales From Red Vienna.
She has appeared in several hit movies such as Tower Heist, Rob the Mob, Win Win, and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. In 2015, she landed the role of Molly Hannibal Season 3.

Did Susie And Hedy Ford Date?
Susie and Hedy were close in college over 15 years ago and possibly in a relationship. It’s implied that Susie was hurt by her actions in the past.
In the latest episode, Midge asks Susie if she knows anything about Ford’s wife, but she refuses to answer. By the end, it is revealed that the two might have been more than acquaintances.
At this point, very little information about Hedy has been revealed. From what the TV host told Midge, it’s clear their marriage is not the conventional one but more like an open marriage.
From his description, their marriage feels like a kind of arrangement, which might have something to do with his wife’s preference.
Susie first learns about her while visiting 30 Rock. The two almost crossed paths in a previous episode. She peeks in at Ford’s office and finds a photo on his desk of a woman -clearly his wife.
When Susie comes to talk to Mike, she runs into Hedy again. This time, Hedy sees her and starts following her. Susie holds a grudge against her, while Hedy wants to make up for what she did.
Their conversation hints they met during their college years about 15 years ago. It seems they were together as Susie talks about all the plans and promises they made.
And while Susie was committed and took everything seriously, Hedy walked away. The former lashes out at the latter, saying that just because she got bored doesn’t mean it went away.
The episode suggests Hedy was the one who walked away from their relationship, leaving Susie in a lurch.
Considering how viewers haven’t seen any love interest for Susie in the entire run of the series, we can assume that it might be because she had her heart broken in the past.
As a result, she decided not to waste time in relationships and dedicated herself to building a life and career.
