The Housewives executive producer told the audience some of the factors that go into casting. “You look for a group of friends. Producers bring in casting people, and they find women who are on the society pages and belong to country clubs. 'Who are your friends, and how do you know each other?' In the end, you kind of wind up with a reel of maybe 10 women who have some connections with each other,” Andy said.
