During her August 2020 interview with Terry Gross on the National Public Radio program "Fresh Air (1975)," Cherry Jones said that she was recommended for the role of Nan Pierce by one of Succession's executive producers, Frank Rich. From 1980 to 1993, Rich was a theater critic for the New York Times, and consequently was one of the most powerful figures in New York theater during those years (Rich was one of several critics over the years to earn the nickname "the Butcher of Broadway," since one of his negative reviews was often sufficient to close a show). Cherry Jones was first known as a theater actress and had won two Tonys before being nominated for any of her Emmys; while clarifying that she and Rich were now friendly colleagues on the set of Succession, Jones told Gross, "we lived in fear and terror of Frank Rich in the theater." Jones also joked that she and two other Succession actresses who likewise started in the theater, Holly Hunter and J. Smith-Cameron, "at one point, we walked past Frank's director chair, and there it was in black and white: Frank Rich. And we . . . sort of shuddered just to see it in black and white again--his name."
