Jeannie Van Der Hooven is bright up-and-coming member of Marty's team. Jeannie is talented, crafty, flirtatious and a little mysterious. She does everything she can to keep her personal life personal and avoids all advances from Marty and the other team members. She aspires to the high-end corporate life, with the top job and the rich, country club fiancé, but she's not above doing shots off a stripper and getting down and dirty with a different guy in every city she visits.

In the second season, Jeannie was promoted to Engagement Manager by  Julianne Hotschragar . Jeannie eventually comes clean to Marty about her feelings, but he disregards her. She takes back the promise of joining his new firm and decides to stay at Galweather and accept a promotion to head her own pod.http://www.sho.com/sho/house-of-lies/cast/5732/jeannie-van-der-hooven

In the third season, the Rainmaker returns to Galweather so she releases records from the business dealings they have been doing, destroying Galweather & Stearn. She goes to Kaan & Associates  when she learns that Marty kept a job open for her. Later on, she has sex with Marty and he tells Jeannie that he loves her. They go on a date and they realize they like what they have.

Jeannie makes her friend at the DOJ aware of incriminating records on one of their clients. When that client is murdered, Jeannie's friend and the FBI searches the Kaan and Associate offices. The FBI arrests Marty and after a talk with his lawyers, he must resign permanently, avoiding the entire company going down in flames. With Marty gone, Jeannie is left in charge. They basically end their relationship as Marty storms off. As he leaves the room, Jeannie says that she wants him.

In season 4, Jeannie is pregnant with Marty's baby. She gives birth in the season finale to their daughter, Phoebe Kaan.

In the final episode of season 5, Marty proposes to Jeannie after a fight, to which she accepts and they elope in Cuba, deciding to parent and continue running the company together as husband and wife.

Jeannie is portrayed by Kristen Bell, who is better known for her roles in Veronica Mars (2004-2019), Frozen (2013/2019) and The Good Place (2016-2020)
