Elle Fanning is an 18-year-old Hollywood star who just got her own show on Hulu. She’ll play the lead role in this crime drama, which will be executive produced by herself!
Elle Fanning is making her mark in the world of crime writing, producing, and acting. The actress has taken on a new role as executive producer for Hulu’s newest series “The Girl From Plainville.”
Based on the true events of Conrad Roy’s manslaughter conviction, Fanning portrays Michelle who was charged with involuntary murder after he died as a result of suicide via text message.
Fanning discussed the controversy of taking on this role.
“I did have to hesitate. I wasn’t an automatic yes. Because I think the subject matter is so heavy, and you want to make sure it’s handled with delicacy and I think I wanted to be a producer on it because I wanted to have said to make sure that it was told right. And you feel that responsibility,” said Fanning.
Hulu is streaming the first three episodes of The Girl From Plainville on Tuesday, March 29.
Ten months ago, the world watched in awe as Carter was released from Bristol County House of Correction after serving less than 10 months.
When the real-life Carter was released from prison in 2020, she went to a house of correction near where I live. It’s called Bristol County House and it houses Female Offenders only!
Lawyers for Carter argue that their client’s conviction should be thrown out because it was an “unprecedented” violation of her free speech, raising crucial questions about whether words alone are enough to hold someone responsible for another person’s suicide.
