'The Act' Season 1 preview: After her star turn on 'Escape at Dannemora', Patricia Arquette deserves her own show
'The Act' shows that the talented Patricia who was presumed to be typecast as 'a wife character' in films, can do a lot more.
Patricia Arquette, the actor who has given a number of critically acclaimed performances before 'Escape At Dannemora' has truly grown into her own at the age of 50, finally playing roles that center around her. The first look of her upcoming Hulu show 'The Act', alongside Joey King, has been released and her part is based on real-life character DeeDee Blancharde. DeeDee is a mother who suffers from Munchausen by Proxy disease, which forces them to lie about medical conditions or manipulate the medical condition of people in their care to gain sympathy. The show is based on a Buzzfeed report, by Michelle Dean, who is also working on the show as a writer.
