'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' 4B: Carol Kane on how events in her life made her a fighter, just like Lillian Kaushtupper

Be it Lilian, Titus, Kim or Jacqueline, 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' has managed to etch strong characters with unique traits that seem real and grounded even in their exaggeration
UPDATED JAN 19, 2019

If you are an 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' fan you are already counting down the days to Friday, January 25, when your favorite foursome – Kimmy (Ellie Kemper), Titus (Titus Burgess), Lillian (Carol Kane) and Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) – return to Netflix for one last hurrah. Kane, who plays the embodiment of the stereotypical New York kook in the most individualistic, unique way, calls the moment bittersweet.

Although 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' probably had a lot more stories to tell, Kane is happy with what the show has achieved so far, especially when it came to etching out the characters. Be it Lilian, Titus, Kim or Jacqueline, the show has managed to etch out some really strong characters with unique character traits that seem real and grounded even in its exaggeration. They are four pillars of individuality, and yet, you cannot help but see a little bit of yourself in all of them.
