Susie as Susie; Photo - HBO To millions, she's the foul-mouthed, tough cookie Susie Greene on Curb Your Enthusiasm. But in real life, Susie Essman is only slightly less salty, as this Times Dining article by Alex Witchel reveals. It takes place in Aspen, during the HBO U.S. Comedy Festival. Susie sees a man in a mink, and says, "To me, there is nothing more repulsive than a man in a mink. A straight man, I'm talking about." Love to love you, Susie.
