Lena Dunham is getting set to wig out. Literally and figuratively! The Girls creator, who has been vocal for many years about her desire to someday guest star on Scandal, will have that professional dream come true in two weeks. And she’ll be donning a wig while doing so. ABC has released pictures from Scandal Season 4 Episode 16 , “It’s Good to Be Kink,” in which Dunham will come on board as a woman who plans to expose many of Washington D.C’.s most sordid sex secrets. This prompts Olivia Pope to jump into action for numerous reasons, not the least of which is her desire to hide her own sex secrets. A few weeks ago, in a podcast with Bill Simmons on Grantland.com, Dunham said it would fulfill her “life’s great passion” to guest star on smash ABC series, ideally as “a really evil character.” We’re not sure how evil the above-pictured character is, but she does appear to be butting heads with Olivia, the lead Gladiator herself. So that’s something. While hosting Saturday Night Live in 2014, Dunham starred in a sketch as an incompetent recent college graduate who joined the Gladiator team that is at the center of Scandal. It was hilarious. Scandal Cast Through the Years 1. Scandal Season 4 Cast Photo View Photo Scandal Season 4 returns on September 25 at 9/8C. Doesn’t the cast look glamorous in this photo? 2.
