'I Am the Night': India Eisley perfectly captures the innocence and quick wit of Fauna Hodel

India Eisley plays Fauna Hodel who was born to a white California family in 1951 and was given away for adoption after her grandmother learned that she was fathered by a black man
UPDATED DEC 31, 2018

Most of us are excited about the reunion of ‘Wonder Woman’ star Chris Pine and the DC movie’s director Patty Jenkins for the TNT drama ‘I Am the Night.’

However, India Eisley’s portrayal of Fauna Hodel, the biological granddaughter of George Hodel (Jefferson Mays), the prime suspect in the infamous Black Dahlia murder mystery is not to be ignored. She brings a perfectly balanced mix of naiveté and bravado to the character inspired by the real-life Fauna, whose unbelievable story was told in the book ‘One Day She'll Darken: The Mysterious Beginnings of Fauna Hodel.’
