Recurring Characters
- Skyler (Azura Skye), Jackie's editor and a trendy, superficial bitch.
- Mitchell (Patrick Bristow), Skyler's sycophantic assistant, who is openly rude to Jackie.
- Jeanette Woodman (Mary Kay Place), Jackie's passive-agressive mother. She is first heard in season one over the phone and embodied by a turtle in a peyote hallucination. In season two, she visits Jackie twice, annoying Jackie incessantly in the process.
- Angela Birnbaum (Colleen Camp), Jackie's occasional agent. She is quick to trust, love, and overestimate anyone she comes into contact with.
- Cheryl (Octavia Spencer), a wisecracking security guard at Tara's production company.
- Darryl (Rashaan Nall), Jackie's apartment building handyman in season one.
- Lars Ahlstrom (Hugh Davidson), Tara's misogynistic boss in season two.
- Jim Fig (Jon Kinnally), Jackie's hunky downstairs neighbor who moonlights as a serial killer. He randomly appears throughout season two, usually in passing as Jackie sees him outside. His appearances are followed with non sequitur glimpses of him torturing abductees or disposing of bodies. His motives are never explained or brought to the attention of Jackie or any other character.

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or characters:
“I am a writer and a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict.... ever since I became loosely involved with it, it has seemed to me one of the recurring ironies of this movement that there is no way to tell the truth about it without, in some small way, seeming to hurt it.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“No author has created with less emphasis such pathetic characters as Chekhov has....”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
