'Fair and Balanced' star Liv Hewson opens up about playing Megyn Kelly's assistant Lily and how she fits into the Roger Ailes story

Liv Hewson plays Lily in the upcoming 'Fair and Balanced,' where she shares most scenes with Charlize Theron's Megyn Kelly.

‘Fair and Balanced,’ one of the most anticipated movies of the year, is centered on the disgraced Fox News founder Roger Ailes and his many altercations with the company's various female employees, including Megyn Kelly. Earlier this month, the photos of Charlize Theron looking like a Kelly clone surfaced on the Internet, giving us a peek at what we can expect from the film.  

In ‘Fair and Balanced’ Kelly’s story will showcase the accounts of the sexual harassment she allegedly endured at the hands of Ailes. Weathering the storm with her in the movie is one of her key assistants, Lily, played by the talented Liv Hewson, who you probably best know as Abby Hammond from Netflix’s ‘Santa Clarita Diet.’ The young star, who goes by they-them pronouns, tells Meaww, “My character Lily is one of Megyn Kelly's key assistants, so I am attached to her throughout the story.”
