Biography

Rebecca Nora Bunch is a former lawyer and Harvard graduate (Yale law), who abruptly traded a job at a prestigious New York law firm for a smaller practice in West Covina, California. She is originally from Scarsdale and is the daughter of Naomi and Silas Bunch, a Jewish mother and an Irish Catholic father. While in Naomi's womb Rebecca had a twin but metabolized its body parts for her own use making her an only child. When Rebecca was only twelve years old her father walked out on the family. Her mother pushed Rebecca to study hard to secure herself a better future. She got a brief respite from her studies when she was sixteen and attended a summer camp. It's there she became romantically involved with a boy named Josh Chan who dumped her once camp was over. A decade later she became a distinguished attorney at Sampson & Saunders but despite her professional success, she was miserable. A chance reunion with Josh Chan caused her to impulsively quit her job and followed him to his hometown of West Covina. After a suicided attempt she got over her obsession with Josh and started therapy to deal with her Borderline personality disorder. She also quit practicing law to open her own pretzel shop and eventually decided to pursue a career in musical theater as a singer/songwriter. Her first appearance was in the Pilot, "Josh Just Happens to Live Here!". She is portrayed by actress/comedian Rachel Bloom.
