Elle Fanning on Losing Herself While Portraying Michelle Carter in 'Girl From Plainville' (Exclusive)
, Elle Fanning is back with another standout performance as Michelle Carter in the streaming platform’s latest true-crime series,. Adapted from Jesse Barron’s article by creators Liz Hannah and Patrick Macmanus, the eight-part saga retells the story surrounding the 2017 texting suicide case, which resulted in Carter being convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the 2014 death of Conrad Roy. “Her look definitely evolves and changes a lot, and she grows up a lot,” says Fanning, who underwent a dramatic physical and mental transformation in order to portray Carter, a lonely teenage girl who had a two-year relationship with a boy she briefly met during a vacation in Florida that largely unfolded over text message before he killed himself.
