Official Site:
"Hannah believes she has the talent to be a great writer. You know, once she actually writes something. In the meantime, she's trying to hold down a paying job now that her parents have cut her off financially and she's without a safety net for the first time. At 24, Hannah is still dependent on her mom and dad. Further complicating things is her unrequited passion for her pseudo-boyfriend Adam (boyfriend is the polite term for it) but she's not sure she's ready for something grown-up anyway."
Hannah was born and raised in East Lansing, Michigan. Her parents are Tad and Loreen Horvath, both university professors (presumably at Michigan State University, which is in East Lansing). She has two maternal aunts, Sissy and Margot, a cousin named Rebecca (Margot's daughter) who is studying to be a doctor and another cousin with an unspecified relative, Rudy, who is a lawyer. She is a graduate of Oberlin College, where she met
Marnie and
Jessa, and has an English degree. Prior to the
Pilot episode of the series, her only job was an unpaid internship; all her money came from her parents.
