Robin Wright, the actress who plays Claire Underwood on “House of Cards,” was in Washington, D.C., to research her role as a powerful politician’s wife and found: This place is seedier than Hollywood.

Why?

She declined to give further details. The second season of “House of Cards” was released on Netflix last week.
