‘The Act’ Star Joey King on Playing Gypsy Rose Blanchard: ‘I Feel Really Sorry for Her’

After scoring big with Neflix’s “The Kissing Booth” last year, actress Joey King returns as Gypsy Rose Blanchard in Hulu’s anthology series “The Act.”

The stranger-than-fiction story centers around Blanchard and her mother Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette), who suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a condition where a caregiver either fabricates or induces an illness in someone under their care to gain attention and sympathy.

“It was such a mentally challenging role for me,” King told TheWrap. “It required a lot of vulnerability.”
