Beth Jones: The Ambassador that inspired 'The Diplomat'
If you thought Netflix's hit series The Diplomat was pure fiction, think again…
According to creator Deborah Cahn the show was inspired by a real-life diplomat that she has described as "a superhero in a pant suit" — Ambassador Beth Jones.
We tracked down Ambassador Jones and her husband Don to ask what it's really like to work in places like Kabul, Cairo, Baghdad and Kazakhstan and it turns out the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
