'Summer of 69' Cast and Character Guide: Who's Who?

Sure, you could turn to the internet for sexual education — or you could hire a stripper to teach you. And the latter is the choice that Abby makes in “Summer of 69.”

Now streaming on Hulu and marking the directorial debut of Jillian Bell — who also co-wrote the script — “Summer of 69” centers on an awkward high school senior who hires an exotic dancer to help seduce her longtime crush before graduation.

Along the way, the women develop their own odd friendship, and learn a bit about self-confidence, acceptance, and adulthood. And they do all this while surrounded by some familiar faces.

Here’s who you’ll need to know.
