Bio
From the 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 a small town in Michigan. Her parents are Tad and Loreen Horvath, both university professors. 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 unknown 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.
