'House of the Dragon': Everything You Need to Know About HBO's Upcoming Series
'Candy' Review: Jessica Biel Anchors a Crime Story That Embraces Its Own Messiness Suffice it to say, that’s the most streamlined version of the tale that spawned an extensive Buzzfeed article, an HBO documentary, and a “20/20” episode even before the 2019 Emmy season rolled around.Įlle Fanning Rules 'The Great' and 'Girl from Plainville' - Long May She Reign In the weeks and months after, it was revealed that Dee Dee had suffered from Munchausen by proxy, keeping Gypsy Rose highly – unnecessarily – medicated, until the young woman had her mother murdered by her Internet boyfriend. The Blanchards’ story has been, by turns, horrifying and fascinating people since the supposedly gravely-ill Gypsy Rose was discovered missing and Dee Dee was found murdered in her Missouri home in 2015.
That seems to be the takeaway as not one but three projects – Hulu’s limited series “ The Act,” Lifetime’s movie “Love You to Death,” and Investigation Discovery’s documentary “Gypsy’s Revenge” – are eligible for the upcoming Emmy season, and all three were inspired by the true-crime tragedy of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother, Dee Dee. Matricide and Munchausen syndrome by proxy may not sound like natural Emmy bait, but in 2019 anything is possible.
