Gypsy became the subject of international news in 2015, when it was reported that she was involved in the killing of her mother.
The critically acclaimed new drama stars Joey King and Patricia Arquette and is based on the true story of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard. The Act premiered on Hulu last week (Mar 20). There’s times when you’ll be watching it where you’ll hate Dee Dee and you’ll feel sympathy for Gypsy, and there will be times where you’ll feel sorry for Dee Dee even, and then you’ll be thinking that Gypsy’s a little bit villainous, so just getting it right was really important to me.The Act star Joey King says that Gypsy Rose's murder of Dee Dee “came out of a loving place” “Just knowing that someone’s real and is out there - I mean, she’s in prison as we sit here and speak right now.
While King didn’t get the chance to speak to Gypsy prior to production - she’s currently serving a prison sentence for the second-degree murder of her mother - the actress explained the pressures of portraying a real person in this “complex” story. I just watched all these videos that I could find and just how childlike her movements were and how they changed as she got older.” King continued: “But I think what was super important to me, not just researching the story, was getting Gypsy’s voice correct and her movements correct: so when she would just look around or talk to her mom, anything I could do to make it as authentic as possible. “She’d spoken to her many times, so whenever I had a question or needed more answers from her, I would able to go to her, which was great.” She was one of our producers on the show who had an intimate relationship with Gypsy and her family,” the actress said.
“We had Michelle Dean, who wrote the famous article for BuzzFeed. To get into the mind of Gypsy, King went down an intense “rabbit hole of research” for the role, watching “any videos that I could really get my hands on.”
