She said the rawness of the series also makes it special. Creator Jenji Kohan "wanted it to be as raw and real as possible," she said. "We wear like literally the federal prison-issue wardrobe, even down to the bras without underwire because you can't have underwire in prison. We're not allowed to wear a lot of makeup. ... There's a story line where I actually barter to get black eyeliner, so every inmate has their own kind of thing that individualizes them." Because the show is about a women's prison, Prepon is largely surrounded by women on the set. "I grew up with guys. I'm not used to hanging out with a bunch of chicks," she laughed. "My friends were like,
'What are you gonna do with all those women around?' But they're amazing. There's not one diva. Everyone is so cool." Prepon was a member of the cast of the long-running Fox sitcom "That
'70s Show" that also starred Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Mila Kunis and Wilmer Valderrama. They have all continued to work since the show went off the air in 2006. "It's kind of rare that everybody on a cast moves on to awesome stuff. We're really fortunate and we all kind of keep each other in check. Like Danny (Masterson), I dated his brother for nine years. I'm like best friends with his mom, so Danny really is like my brother. It's a really tight group, it's great."
