The Blondetourage

**The Blondetourage** are supporting characters and occasional antagonists in *American Housewife.* Their moniker was given to them by Katie as a form of resentment.

## Individuals

* Summit
* Londyn
* Zola
* Taylor Otto (formerly)

## Appearance

### As a Group

All three members of The Blondetourage have blonde hair (hence the name). They are also quite skinny and wear very expensive clothes. They are mentioned as one of the most popular cliques at the Ottos’ school.

## Personality

The Blondetourage have very shallow, superficial personalities, much like everyone else in Westport. They don't act like real friends, and they serve as more of a girl posse. At first, they seemed really nice to Taylor, from inviting her to hangouts, do the group costume, and hanging out most of the time. She dyed her hair blond to stay in line, though they ditched her. Zola wanted to make amends with Taylor after a brief confrontation with Katie, but they ultimately blew her off.

Kapital Entertainment

**Kapital Entertainment,** led by Aaron Kaplan, is an independent production company that produces a vast array of television and digital content for the broadcast, cable and streaming markets.

Kapital produces the ABC sitcom *American Housewife*, with ABC Studios.

## History

Kapital Entertainment was founded by Aaron Kaplan in 2009. Since its launch, the independent production company has quickly emerged as a prolific developer and producer of scripted programming. During these years, the company has produced 45 pilots, with 20 ordered to series, one of the best batting averages in the business.

Kapital also had two pod deals; one in 2014 with development executive Tracy Katsky via KatCo, and the other in 2016 with former longtime head of comedy at CBS Wendi Trilling to launch TrillTV. Both pods were based at Kapital's offices in West Hollywood.

In February 2017, Kapital Entertainment and CBS Corporation announced a strategic partnership. As part of the agreement, CBS Corporation acquired an ownership stake in Kapital and provided co-financing for Kapital to invest in its future programming and serve as its worldwide distributor. *9JKL* was the first series to come out of this joint venture. However, Kapital continued to operate as it had previously, and stayed completely separate from CBS Television Studios and CBS Television Network, without no first-look or any other agreements with any of them.

The studio's hits included *Terra Nova*, *Life in Pieces*, *The Mysteries of Laura* and *Santa Clarita Diet*, among others.

In 2016, Kapital Entertainment started co-producing the series *American Housewife* for ABC.

Prior to Kapital, Aaron Kaplan served as the Worldwide Head of Scripted Content at the William Morris Agency, where he was also on the Board of Directors.

A graduate of the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business and a former teacher at the School of Cinematic Arts, Aaron Kaplan remains an active alum. In March 2017, he teamed up with fellow top USC alumni to launch the “First Jobs” program, which provides recent Cinematic Arts graduates their first paid entry-level jobs in the entertainment industry. First Jobs has launched over 200 jobs for USC alumni, of which Kaplan has personally hired 40. He also sits on the Board of Directors for the Saban Community Clinic, and serves on the Board of Governors for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Also in 2017, Aaron Kaplan, Jeff Sagansky and Florence Sloan partnered with Apoorva Bakshi, Pooja Kohli and Sanjay Bachani of Film Karavan to form Golden Karavan, a mini-major that produces and distributes high-end and provocative Indian-themed episodic content. The production company’s series “Delhi Crime Story,” based on real-life events, premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and won several Asian Academy Awards, including Best Drama Series.
