The Stunning Transformation Of Kathryn Hahn

Her days as simply a supporting player are long behind Kathryn Hahn. After adding recurring parts on Parks and Recreation and Girls to her resume, Hahn headlined or co-headlined the television series Happyish, I Love Dick, and Mrs. Fletcher between 2015 and 2019.

In Showtime's Happyish, Hahn starred opposite Steve Coogan and played Lee Payne, an artist, mother, and wife struggling to find work-life balance and fend off her own intrusive mother. In Amazon's I Love Dick, she played filmmaker Chris Klaus, who moves with her husband to Marfa, Texas and becomes infatuated with an artist and rancher named Dick, played by Kevin Bacon. And in HBO's Mrs. Fletcher, she played the title character, a single mother who explores her sexuality after a divorce.

In 2019, Hahn reflected on her roles in a New York Times interview. "I certainly didn't set out to be the poster person for women's sexuality over 40," she said. "Sexuality is a piece of it. An important and splashy piece, but not the whole thing. It's the desire and hunger I'm attracted to. A woman who wants."
