Elizabeth Holmes Says Amanda Seyfried Was ‘Not Playing Me’ in ‘The Dropout’: It Was a ‘Character I Created’
In the profile, which received backlash online by those critical of the paper’s willingness to give Holmes a platform, the Theranos founder reflected on how the media has portrayed her. Amanda Seyfried won an Emmy for playing Holmes in the Hulu miniseries “,” and Jennifer Lawrence was set to embody the same role in a movie directed by Adam McKay. She has since dropped out of the project.
Holmes told the Times that she created this persona because “I believed it would be how I would be good at business and taken seriously and not taken as a little girl or a girl who didn’t have good technical ideas. Maybe people picked up on that not being authentic, since it wasn’t.”about the possibility of a follow-up to “The Dropout” based on more recent developments.
