Lillian Kaushtupper

Lillian Dolomite Kaushtupper is a fictional character on the Netflix original series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, portrayed by Carol Kane. She is Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) and Titus Andromedon's (Titus Burgess) odd landlady and upstairs neighbor. She first met Titus at Pawn Werlt when he was going to sell his Barbies and leave New York; she offered him an apartment and several months of free rent.

Kane has described her character as having "a passionate, checkered past, and hopefully a passionate, checkered future.” On playing Lillian, Kane states that due to the quality of the writing of series creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, "that basically if I can just remember what I’m supposed to say, it will come out OK." The scene where Lillian and Jacqueline White (Jane Krakowski) switch clothes was Kane's favorite of season 3. According to Tina Nigro, the series' costume designer, Lillian's outfits requires the least amount of effort out of the four main characters, mainly consisting of "a lot of vintage." Matt Melis of Consequence of Sound identifies Lillian's "doubl[ing] down on the MAGA approach in order to win her election" in season 3 as an example of the series combining the insular world of East Dogmouth with events of the wider country.
