One of the main reasons Orange Is the New Black has excelled so spectacularly as a TV show is due to its realistic and moving portrayals of female friendship. Just like the bonds between Taystee and Poussey and Nicky and Red, Big Boo and Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett's surprisingly sweet relationship has become one of the drama's biggest draws. They have their ups and downs, like any real friends do, but they're there for each other through it all. The most recent season especially tests their bond, so POPSUGAR sat down with Boo and Pennsatucky's offscreen counterparts - Lea DeLaria and Taryn Manning - to get all the details on what their season four experience was like, and why being such good friends in real life doesn't always make the acting process easier.
