An Unexpected Political Visitor On Set
One day the show was filming in Georgetown, and an angry woman visited the set at about 3 a.m. wearing a bathrobe and surrounded by several men. She was not very pleased by The West Wing or their schedule. She said, “What the hell’s going on? I have an early morning at the State Department. And, by the way, you people don’t even have a Secretary of State on your show. And I think you should have one and it should be a woman.” The woman was Madeleine Albright, the first woman to become the United States Secretary of State.
