Jessica Hecht is a renowned American actress and singer, whose impressive repertoire includes iconic roles such as Gretchen Schwartz on Breaking Bad, Susan Bunch on Friends, and Carol on The Boys.
Born in the esteemed town of Princeton, New Jersey, Hecht's early life took a significant turn when she was just three years old, as her family relocated to Bloomfield, Connecticut, alongside her parents and sister.
Following her parents' divorce, Hecht's mother remarried psychiatrist Howard Iger, and the blended family raised Jessica and her sister Elizabeth under one roof.
Hecht's educational pursuits began at Connecticut College, where she spent a year and a half honing her skills before transferring to the prestigious New York University Tisch School of the Arts, where she ultimately earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama in 1987.
