Listen: Kaitlyn Dever Says Praise for ‘Unbelievable’ Feels ‘a Bit Strange’
Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorKaitlyn Dever is no stranger to auditions, but something was very different when she read for the starring role in “Unbelievable,” the Netflix limited series about Marie, a Colorado teen who was charged with lying about being raped, but was later exonerated when two detectives (Toni Collette and Merritt Wever) discovered she had been telling the truth.“All of the people in the room were women,” Dever, 23, says on this week’s episode of the Variety and iHeart podcast “The Big Ticket.” “It was amazing.”Dever couldn’t imagine the story — based on a podcast and news article about Marie’s case — co-created by Susannah Grant, being told any other way.
