Swedberg’s stint on Seinfeld was part of a two-decade acting career. I spent days trying to track Swedberg down to hear her side of the story, because it’s been three decades since the premiere of Seinfeld-and it's time the show’s most tragic character gets a much-deserved second look. She hasn't spoken publicly about Seinfeld since she was written off the show, and she's since left Hollywood behind completely. But Swedberg has been left out of the conversation completely. In fact, it was Julia Louis-Dreyfus who suggested killing off the character after finding actress Heidi Swedberg hard to work with, according to interviews with Alexander over the years. But in the real world, the cast didn’t like the actress much more than their fictional counterparts. Through it all, Kramer could never be bothered to remember Susan’s name-he called her Lily even when he found out she’d died.įor 28 episodes over five years, the writers tortured poor Susan, which made her the consummate partner for sad sack George.
In Season Seven, they're reunited when George proposes, but he spends the entire season scheming ways to get out of the relationship until her death in the season finale.
#SUSAN GEORGE FREE#
When Susan is finally in a happy relationship with a woman, the woman leaves Susan to date Kramer, who is just in it for the free tennis lessons. Then they get back together, but George immediately feels trapped so he pretends to pick his nose so she'll break up with him. George gets her fired, which leads to her breaking up with him. In Season Four, when Susan and George begin dating, Kramer vomits on her and then burns her family's cabin down. It was the final bit of cruelty (funny as it may have been) inflicted on the character.
Susan, of course, died from licking the cheap envelopes George picked for their wedding invitations. Poor Susan died from licking too many envelopes at the end of Seinfeld’s seventh season.
