Amanda Seyfried's most challenging role was undoubtedly in the TV series 'The Dropout.' It tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes, the enigmatic founder of Theranos who was discovered to be a fraud. Holmes was believed to be the newest genius in the tech world, having invented a device that would revolutionize the world of blood testing. However, the efficacy of the device was not what she claimed, and it all came crumbling down.
Amanda Seyfried was cast in the starring role in 'The Dropout,' although she initially turned it down as she was sick with COVID-19 when she got the offer. When her fever broke, she said she saw things more clearly and decided to accept. She recalled thinking, “It’s a huge challenge. But I can’t believe that I get a challenge like this." Seyfried is best known for her roles in movies like 'Mean Girls' (2004) and 'Mamma Mia' (2008), so this heavy biopic was a bit of a departure for her.
In the movie 'The Hours', the actress played Virginia Woolf, the writer who suffered from depression and suicidal tendencies.
In 'A Mighty Heart', the actress completely changed her appearance to take on the role of Mariane Pearl, a french journalist with Afro-Cuban roots.
The award-winning actress played Miranda Priestly in 'The Devil Wears Prada,' a cut-throat boss who makes her new employee Andy (played by Anne Hathaway) suffer. The role is far from Streep's real self!
