Elle Fanning on The Girl From Plainville & the Hardest Scene to Film in Her Career to Date
Mar 25 2022
Inspired by the true story of Michelle Carter and her texting-suicide case, the Hulu series The Girl From Plainville delves into the relationship between Michelle (Elle Fanning, who’s also an executive producer on the project), a small-town teen who just wants somewhere to fit in, and Conrad Roy III (Colton Ryan), a young man who loves baseball but whose life is increasingly spiraling into a dark place, and the close bond they formed, even though they were rarely actually together in the same place. After his death, for which she ultimately stood trial for involuntary manslaughter, Michelle works to ingratiate herself with Conrad’s family and friends, until countless text messages encouraging his suicide are revealed, and she must face how big of a role she played in his actions.
