The Act is available through Crave in Canada and Hulu in the U.S. Hulu’s new true-crime miniseries The Act, starring Patricia Arquette and Joey King, dramatizes the creepier-than-fiction story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who in 2016 was sentenced to ten.
King spoke with q's Tom Power about what drew her to Gypsy's story, how she prepared for the role and why it's a bold new step in her career. It's a dark turn for King, who had to transform herself both mentally and physically to play the character. In The Act, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is played by 19-year-old Joey King, who's best known for her roles in rom-coms and teen movies like Ramona and Beezus and The Kissing Booth. Police found Dee Dee stabbed to death in her house and less than 48 hours later, Gypsy and her boyfriend were arrested for her mother's murder. Dee Dee insisted that her daughter Gypsy had asthma, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy and cancer - none of it was true.Īfter undergoing numerous unnecessary medical treatments and being forced to use a wheelchair and feeding tube, Gypsy snapped. Dee Dee had a psychological disorder called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, in which a caregiver fabricates, exaggerates or otherwise induces illness in a person under their care, typically their child.
